My students thrive when given classroom responsibilities, meaningful and engaging tasks, and the thoughtful attention of their teachers and peers.

We are very proud of our school's progress -- four years ago, it was the worst in the state of Louisiana -- and are a vital part of that ongoing effort for academic achievement.
