students, involved parents and a supportive community. We will continue to focus

on providing a high quality education, while striving to always be a Model of

Excellence! I know that we will also continue to have high expectations for all

students as we move through this school year. As Superintendent, I will ensure that

we keep student learning as the priority in all planning and decision-making!"

Great things are happening!

I think therefore I read. Ms. Marchiava and Mrs. Bollinger’s students steal every moment they can for reading, even if

that means spending a 1.5/2hr field trip bus ride reading their whole book. They love reading

anytime, anywhere!

Recognition of the Regional Veterans Memorial Association. The ZCSB recently presented the Regional Veterans Memorial Association with a check for

$500.00 out of the board members' courtesy account. The memorial park is currently being

constructed at the entrance of the fitness trail on Lane Regional Medical Center’s campus. The

park will honor the courage and sacrifice of those who served or are serving in the armed forces

of the United States of America. Those attending to accept the donation were Greg McDougall,

John Taylor, and Frank Ragsdale.

Third graders visit Acadiana Village. Third graders enjoyed a day at Acadiana Village where

they learned about Louisiana music

and dance, uses of sugar cane, and toured the

different houses & buildings.

Congratulations to the ZHS Homecoming Queen, Allegra Slaughter.

Jerry Boudreaux Academic Athletic Center to be named. On the occasion of the Friday, October 30, 2015 Zachary High

School football game, the Zachary Athletic Foundation, and

Zachary High School will unveil a new sign officially

dedicating our Athletic Administration Building to the late

Jerry Joseph Boudreaux, former principal of Zachary High.

The sign, funded by a recent fund drive of the Zachary Athletic

Foundation, officially names this wonderful facility, the Jerry

Boudreaux Academic Athletic Center. Jerry Boudreaux was

principal of our school from 1970 through 1995 and in his

remarkable life, was a community leader, educator, military

veteran, Rotarian, LHSAA Hall of Fame member, Jaycee,

Church leader, and volunteer for many important causes. He was a devoted husband, family

man, and legacy of serving and caring for students and the communities in which he

lived. Those of you who were part of Zachary High, during his tenure, will remember him with

great fondness. It is most fitting that our Academic Athletic Center is being named for him.

We invite you to be present at our Friday, October 30th football game in which we will unveil

the new building sign named in Jerry's honor during a half time dedication ceremony. Game

time is 7:00 p.m.

Is your class, group, or school doing wonderful things?

We would love to hear about it.
