Scholars of the South: How Terrebonne Teachers Shaped the Young Minds of Bayou Country

Education has come a long way in Terrebonne Parish. From humble, one-room schoolhouse beginnings to the multi-story, multi-building campuses that sprawl the parish today, education has always been a priority in bayou country. Over the years, the parish has built an education system that produces well-rounded students who are prepared to enter the workforce or a postsecondary program. Today, we honor the pioneers who laid the educational foundation of Terrebonne Parish, celebrate the current successes of our parish’s educational professionals, and anticipate the future triumphs of our educational leaders and learners.
