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.
