Southeastern Louisiana University Laboratory School

• K-8

Junior: I absolutely LOVE Southeastern Louisiana University Laboratory School! It is an amazing school with teachers and staff that truly care about the success of their students. I am a part of their College of Education as a SPED 1-5 major. This is one of the top education programs in the country. It is great at preparing students like me for the real world. It is designed to have a certain number of real-world ready courses each semester to ensure that the students know what they are getting into and can have as much experience as possible. On top of having a great program, they have a number of organizations that are offered. I have been able to get more involved than I ever thought I could through Southeastern's many organizations!

St. Thomas Aquinas High School

Senior: About the school, I have so many first expressions of it, such as beautiful uniform, good facilities, friendly teachers and counselors, big buildings, nice classmates and friends, varieties of classes, delicious lunch, etc. There are lots and lots of things that I like about my new school, but what I like most about this is the clubs and activities. At the current, I am joining the Key Club and 4-H club at school. I also intend to join the Beta Club or Pentrails. I want to participate in as many clubs and activities as I could. I have made friends with a lot of Seniors and especially Freshmen. They are very cute and friendly.

Oak Forest Academy

• Private School
• Amite, LA
• PK, K-12
• 13

Senior: Oak Forest Academy is a private school located in the small town of Amite, LA. OFA grades range from Pre-K3 to 12th grade. The close nit school is rather small compared to others with approximately 900 students but growing. Oak Forest got its name because it was build on what one was a forest of oaks planted to later be cut down for lumber. The school is tucked in the perfect place right next to town but not in the middle of all the traffic. OFA is recent years has had a high success rate for athletes but are known for there great education. 98% of all OFA students have graduated their senior year. The 2017 graduating class with only 52 students had a total 2.2 million dollars in scholarship money, 5 valedictorian, and 3 salutatorian. The over all view for Oak forest Academy is a great school to send your children wanting them to get the best education possible but also giving them the freedom to play sports and learn not only school work but live lessons along the way.

Hammond High Magnet School

Senior: Hammond High Magnet School has opened me up to many opportunities. From the Medical-Magnet program, Agriculture, and even Music, I have had an amazing high school experience, thus far. Many high schools go by day-today agendas without caring about the students' future, but not at Hammond High. The teachers here care about our future and have our best interests. As far as opportunities I have been shown, I could go on forever. But, for reference, I have been given the opportunity for so many different sports, career paths, and dual enrollment programs through our local college, Southeastern Louisiana University. I am very blessed to have been able to attend Hammond High Magnet School for all 4 years.

Senior: Loranger High School is a place that I am proud to call my own. My peers and I can receive a one-on-one education without the hesitation of rude staff or poor resources. There is a variety of hands-on activities that make the learning environment fun, and the teachers and faculty make sure that ALL students are involved. Being located in a small town, I was unsure if I were going to receive the best overall experience due to my career choice, but Loranger High greatly exceeded my expectations. The school has a large selection of career based classes, ranging from engineering to nursing courses. There are also a large amount of clubs, sports, events, and organizations that Loranger High provides for students and their families to take part in. I have had no disappointments in the four years of being enrolled here. Loranger High School is a safe place to learn and have fun, while also maintaining a memorable high school experience. Go Wolves!
