St. Charles Parish Public Schools honored its 2025-2026 Teachers of the Year at the annual Teachers of the Year Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, at the Lafon Performing Arts Center in Luling. Sponsored by Shell Norco, this year’s event embraced the theme The Magic of Education.

Congratulations to Isabella Bradley of Ethel Schoeffner Elementary School, Jessica Cortez of J.B. Martin Middle School, and Courtney Berthelot of Destrehan High School, who were named the overall 2025-2026 SCPPS Elementary, Middle, and High School Teachers of the Year! These three exceptional educators will now advance to compete at the state level for Louisiana Teacher of the Year, representing the district with dedication, passion, and excellence.

Applications are currently being accepted for the Ethel Schoeffner Scholarship from college students currently majoring in education or nursing who graduated from Destrehan or Hahnville High School. The scholarship awards $500 per semester up to a maximum of $2,500.

As reported in late January, St. Charles Parish Public Schools notified the St. Charles Parish District Attorney and the Louisiana Legislative Auditor of potential misrepresentation of the district’s financial standing as presented to the St. Charles Parish School Board and Superintendent.

Since then, we have engaged the independent forensic accounting firm EisnerAmper, which began a comprehensive review of SCPPS finances. This is an ongoing process, and findings will be shared with local and state authorities upon completion.

St. Charles Parish Public Schools 2025-2026 Principal of the Year, Lisa Perrin of Allemands Elementary School, was announced as a semifinalist in the Louisiana Principal of the Year Competition on March 27, 2026.
