Roncalli has been integral in guiding my children through the difficult path of high school. Mrs. Jordan and Mrs. Beckwith from the counseling department both helped walk my kids through pivotal life choices, and I am forever grateful for their guidance.

One of the most impactful moments for me was at Back-to-School night. It became clear to me how much these teachers love their jobs, and it showed. Passionate teachers make great high schools. I'm so thankful to Roncalli for setting my kids up for success in life.

All five of my children have grown emotionally, spiritually and intellectually through the guidance of the hundreds of caring and loving people who spend their vocation at Roncalli High School.

My youngest Joe R'25 had as great of an experience as my oldest Danielle R'06 even though they attended Roncalli decades apart, which tells me that you have been knowing, loving and serving my family and other families at the top of your game for too many years to count, which is almost unheard of especially in these last few years. My eternal gratitude and prayers are with you and Roncalli High School.

Our family moved to Indianapolis from Georgia in the summer of 2024 when our girls were starting their sophomore and senior years in high school. Being unfamiliar with the school, our family took a tour, and while on the tour, there was an athletic team training on the track. Many of the girls on the team smiled and waved at Hannah R'25 and Clara R'27. That little gesture of kindness went a long way that day for two anxious girls.

Hannah really liked that Roncalli would give her a "real" high school experience. Clara's faith is very important to her, so she was only interested in attending a Catholic high school. Along with everyone being friendly, she added that she appreciated that she would still be able to continue to participate in cross country, swim and track at her level. I should also mention that right before school started, we received the shirt the seniors wear on Thursdays with all of the names listed. Even though we had just registered for school, Hannah's name was included on the shirt. We were all so touched that the effort was made to make Hannah feel included in the senior class from day one. We are all so pleased with Roncalli.

As a parent of three alumni and three current students, the impact that Roncalli has had on my family is immeasurable. The life skills, the education, the friendships, the mentoring and coaching are all things that I don't feel that my kids would have gotten anywhere else. But more than that, the importance of faith in everything they do, the opportunities for Mass, Adoration, service and reconciliation provide the foundation for everything else that happens in the building. As an alumni and now as a parent, I could not be more grateful for all of the wonderful blessings that Roncalli has brought to my life and my family.

As an alumnus of Roncalli, I often reflect back on my time there. I knew it was a special place when I was a student, but it’s magnified now as an adult. I think about the academic and spiritual preparation. I was prepared for college and the workforce because of skills I learned at Roncalli. Most importantly, I think of the relationships Roncalli provided for me. The peer relationships have proven to be life-long, as most of my adult friendships started at Roncalli. Finally, my relationship with God was strengthened because of the opportunities provided by Roncalli. I feel that none of these things would be true without Roncalli’s leadership.

Alex has found many things through the fine arts program at Roncalli over the years. Great experiences on the stage and off, genuine friends and friendships and the ability to remember choreography, lyrics and lines! But of all of the things she has found, the one that I am most grateful for is this: she found herself! You managed to reach her in a special way. In reaching her, you helped her to see her education, her classmates, her faith and herself in a new light. Your caring guidance helped her to be comfortable with who she was and to think about who she could be. Please accept my most sincere gratitude and may God bless you and the work you continue to do as teachers.

I wanted to take a moment and thank you for the Open House last night. It was a breath of fresh air to come to a school and feel so much positive energy and excitement during such challenging times. I really appreciated the time and energy you all put into the Open House and that you continue to make things happen given the state of the world we are living in. Thank you.

I have been invited to speak at Roncalli several times over the past two decades, and have always been impressed by their Catholic identity and the genuine love they have for their students. The environment on campus demonstrates that faith, hope, and love aren't transmitted only in the religion class, but in every department.

We moved to the southside right before my son's senior year. I signed him up for tennis clinics led by Coach Stone before I knew he would be going to Roncalli. At the end of the first week he said, "I think I want to go to school here", much to my surprise. After being at Roncalli for a few months, he told me, "I think Roncalli was the better decision to set me up for life. They really care about you."

Thank you so much for this amazing school! I only wish he had more years prior.

Jay and I feel so blessed that our children have been able to attend Roncalli! Although it hasn't been easy sending our children to Catholic Schools for all of these years, we wouldn't trade it for the world. Your teachers and staff truly go above and beyond! I just hope and pray that people thank all of you enough. I know as an educator that people can be quick to send an email when they aren't happy, but I certainly hope they send them to show their gratitude. The past 2 years have been extremely challenging, yet so many of your teachers and staff have helped Cellia & Colin get through even the most challenging times. Although Lilly is in her 3rd year of college, she is still in contact with many of her RHS family members. I just want you and all of your staff to know how grateful we are for everyone at Roncalli. May God continue to bless you all and the work you do!

Just wanted to say THANK YOU again for everything you’ve done for us and Camryn, Miss Ross! Words cannot express how appreciative we are for all the help and guidance you’ve provided us through this process. You have made us feel so welcome and at ease…especially Camryn. She is VERY excited to become a Royal and can’t wait for school to start!

Roncalli High School has without a doubt been the most influential place in my life. The teachers and staff members gave me the guidance and opportunities to explore my faith and form my own friendship with God. The life lessons I learned while at Roncalli gave me the foundation I needed to find joy and fulfillment in my life long after I graduated.

Roncalli Staff, I know you are all busy, but I wanted to reach out to you with regards to the commitment you make to our kids each day. I am proud and blessed that we are part of the Roncalli Family! In these turbulent times it is rare to hear wise words and see people of character. I am proud to say that Isabel is at the right place at the right time! When I hear from Roncalli staff and speak to my daughter, I hear and see character, insightfulness and personal responsibility. You are all doing work that will shape the future of our country in a positive way and I just wanted to say THANK YOU!

We wanted to take this opportunity to thank the Roncalli Staff who have helped Garrett get through his last two years at RHS, specifically Mrs. Roberts, Ms. Okerson, Mr. Small, Mrs. Owens, Mrs. LeMark, Mr. Elbreg, Mrs. McGill and Mr. Kratoska. Thank you also for all you and the Roncalli staff have done to keep teachers, employees and students safe. We appreciate all you do and realize it is a tough job. Thank you again!

Roncalli is the paying forward engine that can change society! The best thing we can give society is a Roncalli educated child.

I wanted to take the time to thank you for your efforts in getting Emily registered and started at Roncalli. I can’t even begin to tell you the difference our visit today made for Emily. She has not stopped talking about how nice everyone was and how welcome she felt. She’s so excited! Wendy in the spirit shop was so friendly and got Emily excited about voting for the new mascot. We have already heard from a couple of teachers who want to make sure she is set up for success. I just don’t know that I can accurately describe the sense of community that we felt in the building, which is crazy since it was practically empty! I feel confident that Emily is finally where she belongs. Thank you so much!

I am so grateful our grandchildren have/are attending this wonderful school. Your staff and educators inspire, watch over & help guide these young people in everything they strive to achieve. Thank you & your staff for all you do!

Roncalli has been a HUGE blessing to us - we couldn’t be happier about our choice to send our kids to Roncalli. We will be there for quite awhile to come, as our youngest is currently in third grade.

I was blessed to speak with the students of Roncalli High School. They were attentive and asked some well thought out questions.

I could tell the passion and desire to serve those most in need was nurtured through the caring teachers at the school. I would be happy to come back to present or assist students in a project any time!

What a pleasure! Thank you so much for listening and for your open hearts. We together know that through our voices we can speak for the oppressed and in need. We can take action in many ways. I am honored to know that through Roncalli, students are given that opportunity.

Thanks so much for all of your help this year. I have to say that both girls had amazing experiences at Roncalli, and I know it’s largely due to the teachers. Both Jillian R'19 and Jayden R'23 have discussed with me so many times that a teacher went above and beyond to help explain something, lend an ear to listen to a concern or just reach out to check in on them. I know they would not have these experiences anywhere else. I’m very proud of the women my girls have become, and it was with the help of their teachers and staff at Roncalli that they are who they are. You all will always be in our hearts.
