East Feliciana Public Schools

October is National Principals Month, and we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the amazing principals who lead our schools. Their dedication, passion, and commitment shape the educational experiences of our students and foster positive school cultures.

Every day, our principals inspire teachers, staff, and students to strive for their best. They navigate challenges with grace and create environments where every student can thrive. This month, join us in recognizing and thanking these remarkable leaders.

To our wonderful principals, thank you for all that you do. Your leadership and tireless efforts make a profound difference. Let’s all take a moment to #ThankAPrincipal and show our appreciation for their invaluable contributions to our schools and communities.

Join us in recognizing our East Feliciana Public Schools October Employee of the Month from Jackson Elementary School!

While this is only her first year as a full-time employee, Ms. Karrington Porter has been a vital part of the Jackson Elementary team since she joined last year as a substitute with Kelly Services. In her role as a school-based substitute, she consistently steps up to ensure our school runs smoothly, whether by covering classrooms, assisting in P.E., or helping with various tasks. Her positive attitude has made her a favorite among students and staff. Beyond her regular duties, Ms. Porter volunteers for school events and chairs the JES Homecoming Committee.

As she works toward her teaching certification, we look forward to her future contributions in her own classroom. Ms. Porter truly embodies the JES core values of respect, responsibility, and kindness; and we are proud to celebrate her!

Earlier this month, students from East Feliciana Middle School, East Feliciana STEAM Academy, East Feliciana High School participated in a College, Career, and Transitional Fair at EFHS! Hosted by the school counseling team at EFHS, this event empowered ALL students to explore the wide world of postsecondary opportunities!
