Rummel Day 2023

Rummel Day is the annual day we honor our school's namesake, Archbishop Joseph Francis Rummel and traditions created and maintained at 1901 Severn Avenue. In addition to acknowledging Joseph Francis Rummel's impact on our school, the Alumni Association also recognizes the recipients of  the Alumnus of the Year and the Raider Legend Award. 

20223 Alumnus of the Year
Mr. Jason Ural '97

As a Raider, Jason Ural was involved in all things Rummel. He served on student council and was a three year letterman on the Raider football team and a two-year starting offensive tackle. After graduating from Archbishop Rummel High School, Jason earned a B.A. from Tulane University.  Jason continued to serve his alma mater and community by holding positions with the Alumni Association, School Board and volunteering as an assistant Scout Master, youth soccer coach and a junior high football and track coach.

As an Alumnus, Jason has been integral in revitalizing alumni participation over the years and securing the future success of events, such as Beast Feast and Return to Severn.  With his leadership, thousands of alumni, families, and future Raiders have come to campus for events. As a former Archbishop Rummel Alumni Association President, Jason recruited more alumni candidates to participate in board elections than in the previous 20 years. 
 Jason is the Chief Financial Officer for Guardian Services LLC and currently serves as Constable for Jefferson Parish, 6th Justice Court.  Jason and his wife Alison have two beautiful daughters, Madison and McKenna.

2023 Raider Legend Award
Mr. Alfred "Al" Ferry

Picture
Al Ferry was a high school teacher at Archbishop Rummel High School for 40 years, a civil lawyer for 25 years, a part time college professor for 25 years at William Carey College, and a lifetime philosopher.

At Rummel, he taught French, English, and was renowned for his dedication and teaching to the highest standards. The most common story from his students about his time teaching at Rummel can be best described from his creed in class "there is the right way, the wrong way, and Mr. Ferry's way."

Mr. Ferry is a picture of Raider Pride. As well as demanding academic excellence, he attended every sport and activity of his Rummel students. He was a fixture whenever or wherever the Raider students performed, whether it was band, Genesians, all sports games, and every academic competition.

He was truly a Raider Legend in his time here at Archbishop Rummel and will forever be known as one.
