Tim Robichaux – September 9, 2014
Tim Robichaux was the guest speaker on Tuesday, September 9, 2014. Tim is the current president of E. D. White Catholic High School. He is a former graduate of the school and a graduate of Nicholls State University. He lives in Thibodaux with his wife Michelle and has three children and one grandchild.
Tim spoke of the importance of faith and a positive attitude in our goal for success. He recalled his own journey from a “job” as an insurance adjuster to his “calling” and “true purpose”. A desire for a career change and a series of unforeseen events led him to become the band director at E.D. White. He returned to his college alma mater for an additional two years of school to get a second degree in Music.
He stressed again being open to change as he accepted the position of president in March 2014 – a job he previously had little interest in. He started the position in July and has been busy with many new things at the school.
In his update on the school, he reported the school has 789 students. The school has seen improvements with new faculty, new academic and athletic facilities, and new curriculum offerings. Next year will surely be a busy one for Tim as E. D. White celebrates its’ 50th Anniversary.
