Twenty years ago in 1988, Lusher was one of the first schools in New Orleans to be recognized as a Blue Ribbon School. The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program honors schools that are either high-performing or have closed achievement gaps, especially among minority or disadvantaged students.
“We are so proud and honored to be recognized again as a National Blue Ribbon School,” said Kathy Riedlinger, CEO of Lusher Charter School. “Our amazing students, staff and teachers truly deserve this prestigious honor and consistently help us remain a top performing school. It is wonderful to be recognized for all of our hard work and dedication!”  Young Audiences Charter School (YACS) will hold its first school-wide exhibition of artwork created by its visual arts creative learners in grades K and 5th - 8th. The “Art Bright” Exhibition will be held on Thursday, October 18th, 2018, 5pm-7pm at Young Audiences Charter School, 1407 Virgil St, Gretna, LA 70053.
“YACS is excited to present our first school-wide exhibition of artwork created by our multi-talented students,” said Young Audiences Charter School Leader Brandon House. “This exhibition is part of Young Audiences Charter School's mission to educate through arts integration and equip our creative learners to flourish as leaders in life and learning.”  Former Legislator Austin Badon has won the united endorsement of the Orleans Parish Democratic and Republican Executive Committees, uniting the organizational structure of both political parties behind his candidacy for Clerk of First City Court.
 Finally some good news for teachers tired of competing with students’ cellphones for their attention during class. Students can no longer text, answer calls or browse social media during the school day at International High School of New Orleans (IHSNO) with the advent of new technology in the form of a security pouch for cellphones.
IHSNO has just launched the new cellphone pouches for the 2018-2019 school year. The security-proof pouches manufactrured by Yondr ensure students don’t have access to their cellphones during school hours. The initiative is the first of its kind in New Orleans to create a cell-free school campus and lessen distractions in the classroom. |
