Dear Bienville Parish School Community,

As we embark on a new school year, I want to extend a heartfelt welcome to all our students, parents, educators, and staff. It is with great pride and enthusiasm that we kick off this academic year under the banner of our inspiring slogan: “Embrace Tomorrow, Innovate Today.” This motto perfectly captures our commitment to preparing our students for the future while continually striving to improve our practices today.

This year, our focus will be guided by three principles represented by the ABCs of our educational philosophy:

A – Acting with Accountability: We believe in taking responsibility for our actions and decisions. By holding ourselves accountable, we ensure that our efforts are aligned with our mission to provide a high-quality education for every student. Each member of our school community plays a crucial role in this process, and together we will work diligently to meet and exceed our goals.

B – Building Capacity: Our aim is to strengthen our skills and capabilities. By investing in professional development and fostering a supportive environment, we enable our teachers, staff, and students to reach their full potential. Building capacity is about empowering everyone involved to contribute meaningfully and effectively to our shared mission.

C – Cultivating High Expectations: We set high standards for ourselves and our students because we believe in their potential. Cultivating high expectations means challenging everyone to strive for excellence, encouraging perseverance, and celebrating achievements. It’s about creating a culture where ambition and success are the norms.

I am also thrilled to share that Bienville Parish Schools has been recognized by the Louisiana Department of Education as one of the Top Systems for Growth. This accolade is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and passion of our entire school community. It is an honor to be acknowledged in this way, and it inspires us to continue pushing the boundaries of what we can achieve together.

As we dive into this school year, let us remain committed to our vision of embracing the future with optimism and innovation. Our collective efforts will shape an environment where every student can thrive, grow, and succeed.

In the Spirit of Excellence in Education,

Dr. Byron Lyons
Superintendent
