The eggs that students at the East Feliciana STEAM Academy have been incubating have started to hatch! They join the broiler chickens courtesy of Southern University that recently became part of the EF STEAM family. EF STEAM strives to support student mastery of state learning standards through hands-on, problem-based learning.
Slaughter Elementary School sixth graders collaborated with peers to reflect on their progress in reading comprehension, fluency, and vocabulary using the supplemental curriculum resource Reading Plus. Students shared at least one improvement made since using Reading Plus. Sharing included “I read over 100,000 words!” “My fluency rate improved!” and "I have learned new vocabulary!”
In East Feliciana Public Schools, we believe well-prepared teachers using high-quality curriculum drive student learning forward. Take a peek at some of the teaching and learning that recently happened in our schools, including making a model of a lung at EF STEAM, solving equations at the EF Enrichment Academy, engaging in critical thinking about a text at EFHS, and modeling the number 8 at JES!

Members elected to the East Feliciana Parish School Board took their oath of office from Clerk of Court David Dart on December 20 at our central office in Clinton. They officially took office on January 1. Pictured with Superintendent Keisha L. Netterville and Clerk Dart are board members Rufus Nesbitt, Melissa Davis, Patricia C. King, Paul Kent, Lillian G. Drake, Peidera Sims-Matthews, Michael Ray Bradford, and Clayton "Cisco" Elkins. Members of the board will continue to drive and support the work of #HomegrownPride, our five-year strategic plan. Through the work of this plan, all our schools showed growth in their School Performance Score and East Feliciana Public Schools was the top district statewide for growth in students scoring mastery and above on state assessments during the 2021-2022 school year. East Feliciana Public Schools was also the top district in the Capital Region for growth in District Performance Score and one of just 20 districts statewide earning an A for student growth.
On December 9, EFMS hosted an induction ceremony for new members of their local chapter of the National Beta Club. The mission of the organization is to promote the ideals of academic achievement, character, service, and leadership among elementary and secondary school students.
