Right now, high school students in Ascension Parish are beginning to schedule classes for the next school year. In a new video from Ascension Public Schools, students get a glimpse into the "Hire Education" pathway options available at its four high schools. Whether planning for a four-year university degree, a two-year community college degree, or pursuing technical training for a job after high school, Ascension's programs give students access to hundreds of hands-on courses that can lead to high-need, high-paying professions.

We want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and hope that you have enjoyed a wonderful holiday season. We look forward to students returning to school later this week. Our preschool through 8th graders return Wednesday, January 5, 2022, and our high school students return Thursday, January 6, 2022. We anticipate many successes for our students during the spring semester, and we know each student will put forth their very best effort to finish this school year strong.
