Today's Cool School is Catholic High School in New Iberia.

Catholic High hosted the VEX Robotics Competition recently, bringing in twelve teams from five Louisiana high schools to compete for the first time. Catholic High Robotics, and their coach Tabitha Erickson, have been working on their designs since last summer.
