Our 6th-grade learners are putting their skills to work—applying ratios and rates to solve real-world word problems with clarity and confidence. This is how we build strong mathematical thinkers! #sthelenawinning
Shoutout to our learners who blasted past expectations and completed 12 or more Zearn lessons! Your hard work, discipline, and consistency are pushing our school to the next level. Keep aiming for the stars—this is what #sthelenawinning looks like.
With great pride, we congratulate Zaria Overton, our 2025–2026 Learner of the Year! Zaria is a brilliant and deeply respectful learner whose character speaks louder than any award ever could. She consistently exudes excellence—academically, behaviorally, and socially—and truly represents the spirit of what we call St. Helena Winning. Zaria, your example inspires your peers, uplifts your teachers, and encourages all of us by showing that the next generation is in great hands. Keep shining brightly. Your future is limitless. #sthelenawinning
There was an altercation on campus involving some of our learners. The situation was quickly controlled by our School Resource Officer who was at the scene. All parties involved have already been removed from campus and the local authorities have been notified. We commend the swift action of our SRO and the appropriate actions that were taken by school administrators. A thorough investigation is now underway.
Our 3rd- and 6th-grade learners engage in weekly life skills lessons that prepare them for academic transitions and future success. These sessions are meant to be comfortable and engaging opportunities to build our learners' social-emotional skills.

As we review our 2025 School Performance Scores, it is clear that our journey toward academic excellence is far from finished. We acknowledge the progress made, yet we also recognize that significant work remains ahead. This year marked the final year of the state’s previous accountability system, and we now move forward under a new, more rigorous framework that raises expectations for every learner and every school.
From the first day of this school year, we set an ambitious goal to make substantial gains in teaching and learning. Our educators have embraced the challenge with commitment, and our learners continue to show resilience and determination. However, true improvement cannot happen in isolation. Our success depends on the shared efforts of families, community partners, and citizens across St. Helena Parish who believe in the potential of our young people.
We cannot do this work alone. When schools and communities unite around the common mission of supporting our learners, powerful change occurs. We invite every member of our community to stand with us, to stay engaged, and to help create the conditions where academic success is possible for all.
Together, we can ensure that the next chapter under this new accountability system reflects the strength, pride, and purpose of St. Helena Parish.
