Dear Parents and Guardians,
Dear St. Helena Parish Community,
This year, our district is fully committed to raising student achievement and improving performance on state standardized assessments. For too long, St. Helena Parish has carried the burden of underperformance, and now—together—we must commit to meaningful, lasting change. Our focus is clear: we must improve academic outcomes for all learners, and we need every parent, guardian, and community member engaged in this effort.
We are at a critical turning point in St. Helena Parish. Our children deserve a high-quality education that prepares them to compete, succeed, and thrive beyond the classroom. As we prepare for a new school year, I ask each of you to partner with us in this important work. Talk with your children about the importance of their education. Check in on their progress. Let them know that we believe in them—and that hard work now will open doors later.
Let this be the year we begin to see real, measurable change. We’ve been low-performing long enough. It’s time for a new chapter in St. Helena—and that starts with all of us working together.
Thank you for your continued support, your involvement, and your belief in the potential of our students. I look forward to welcoming you back for what promises to be a powerful and purposeful school year.
Warm regards,
Kelli Joseph, Ed.D.
