We recently celebrated another well-deserved moment in the spotlight for two awesome educators!

Earlier this month, Sarah Corley, Louisiana Early Childhood Leader of the Year, and Michelle Blaney, Louisiana High School Teacher of the Year, were formally recognized by Louisiana BESE in Baton Rouge.

Our Rapides team was there to cheer them on, then capped off the day with a networking reception at the Old State Capitol.

Congratulations again, Michelle and Sarah!

November is quickly approaching, and we want your help! 📬

We know that our students are successful because of the amazing people who support them in many capacities.

We’re inviting our community to say thank you. Write a note of gratitude to any Rapides Parish Public Schools employee: a teacher, bus operator, food service worker, custodian, coach, counselor, secretary, principal, or anyone who has made a difference for you or your child!

Complete this form: https://rpsb.la/gratitudenote2026

We’ll print your note and deliver it to them through our district mail system.

Notes are due Tuesday, Nov. 10, and you’re welcome to thank as many people as you’d like! We appreciate your time and input with this special project!

Faces of Impact celebrates the people who engage, empower, and elevate our students.

This week, meet Dr. Judith Williams, Lead Teacher at Rapides Training Academy.

Dr. Williams brings deep knowledge of special education to RTA, and she shares it with the whole campus. Teachers come to her for help and newer staff lean on her as a mentor. She keeps learning, too. Dr. Williams seeks out continued training and brings what she learns back to her colleagues, so the people around her grow with her.

Her students feel the difference. Because of her commitment, students make major strides and reach milestones that carry well beyond school.

“We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful, inspiring person on the RTA campus,” colleague Meagen Williams shared.

Thank you, Dr. Williams, for showing your students and your fellow teachers what’s possible!
