Dear Acadia Parish Schools Families and Stakeholders,
On behalf of the Acadia Parish School Board and Administration, we are excited to welcome all of our students, families, and staff to the 2024-2025 school year in Acadia Parish! We hope that everyone has had an opportunity to relax, recharge, and enjoy the summer break. Our first day for students will be Wednesday, August 7, 2024.
As the newly appointed Superintendent of Acadia Parish School System, I am honored and excited to step into this role and serve the community from which I was raised. Growing up and spending my adult life as an educator in Acadia Parish has given me a deep-rooted connection here and a clear understanding of the unique strengths and challenges we face.
Students and staff in our system accomplished great things in 2023-2024, and my priority for the 2024-2025 school year is for that momentum to continue. Incredible things take place in our classrooms everyday throughout the parish. Whether teaching, preparing classrooms, delivering our students to school and home safely, maintaining our facilities or providing nutrition daily, phenomenal employees are serving our communities with dedication and commitment. Students in our schools deserve our best, and they are fortunate to have dedicated staff working with them on their campuses.
Striving for instructional excellence while ensuring a safe learning environment for our students, staff, and visitors on our campuses remains our top priority.
District-wide, we want to ensure that we provide a rigorous and equitable educational experience to all students. Every step forward will be student-centered and innovative. It is imperative that we build strong relationships and partnerships so that education and collaboration continues throughout our campuses and our community.
As Superintendent, I look forward to the excitement that a new school year brings and wish everyone an amazing return and a productive school year. It takes all of us working together to achieve the mission of the Acadia Parish School System - to provide excellence in education and training for personal fulfillment and for a productive and prosperous society. It is an honor to be entrusted with the youth of our community and to grow their talents and abilities so that they can reach all of their individual dreams.
