St. Helena Parish School District's Vision and Focus

Our learners are the focus of our work in St. Helena. We strive to close the access and opportunity gaps that is an unfortunate reality in small, rural school communities by creating strong partnerships, creating equitable, student-focused learning environments, and providing active, engaging instruction in each classroom.

We provide a comprehensive professional development program for all employees throughout the district. These supports include district-wide PD, weekly Cluster and Data Meeting, online trainings, one-on-one supports, and Health and Wellness. In addition, our partnerships with various education agencies enhance our program and provide much-needed external supports.

Transparency is a top priority for everyone in our school district. We are fiscally responsible, follow all Board policies, and work to maintain professional, meaningful relationships with all our stakeholders.

2024-2025 District Theme

The systems, structures, processes, and outcomes in the St. Helena Parish School District are intricately connected and collectively contribute to the district’s vision. By continuously refining these elements, we can enhance our effectiveness, address challenges, and ultimately ensure that all learners have the opportunity to succeed academically and personally.

AASA Learning 2025 is a movement that calls for holistic redesign of the public school system by 2025. The initiative is grounded in the foundational work of the AASA Learning 2025 National Commission, comprised of thought leaders in education, business, community and philanthropy.
