“The amount of work that goes into moving a district even a tenth of one point is monumental, so to think of all the blood, sweat, and tears that went into moving our entire district 3.7 points is humbling,” says NPSB Superintendent Dr. Grant Eloi. “I cannot thank our teachers enough for what they are doing for the children of Natchitoches Parish.”
We could not have achieved this milestone without the hard work, dedication, and overall passion our teachers, administrators, staff, and personnel show for our students each and every day!! Thank you to each and every one of you for helping us to better Natchitoches Parish Schools.
The Natchitoches Parish School Board is committed to improving student performance and continuing to accelerate success for the students of Natchitoches Parish.
