Today, South Highlands Elementary Magnet School was recognized at the National Blue Ribbon Schools event hosted by the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, D.C. To celebrate this incredible moment, the schools three most recent principals including (left to right) Keith Burton, now Caddo's Chief Academic Officer, Heather Williams, South Highlands' current principal, and Mary Harris, the immediate past principal of South Highlands who retired earlier this year, were all in attendance. Together, they have fostered the school's rich tradition of excellence and left a lasting impact on the students, staff and families of South Highlands. Congratulations to these incredible leaders and all who made today's celebration possible! Caddo is proud to be home to 12 schools with 15 National Blue Ribbon Schools honors including three honors from South Highlands. This makes South Highlands the only public elementary school in Louisiana with three honors. #wearecaddo #theyarecaddo #rootedintradition #nationalblueribbon #nbrs2022 #threetimehonoree #BIGdreamsstarthere
