Our National Principals Month spotlights continue with Jose Gonzales, Principal of Hahnville High School! 🏫🐯 As we celebrate this month's 7 Mindsets theme, Passion First, we're highlighting what inspired our principals to pursue education and what continues to motivate them today. We're also taking a look back at where their journeys began with photos from early in their careers alongside photos from today! In His Own Words: "Being from a military family, I moved around a lot, and school became a place that gave me some stability, structure, and a sense of belonging. I think that’s a big part of what sparked my passion for education. What keeps it going is knowing that, for some of our students, school can be that same place for them—a place where they feel supported, challenged, and know that people believe in them." Join us in celebrating Mr. Gonzales and the positive impact he makes on the Hahnville High School community! 👏 #YouAndIWeAreSCPPS #PassionFirst #YouBelongHere📍

Our National Principals Month spotlights continue with Angi Butler, Principal of Mimosa Park Elementary School! 🏫 As we celebrate this month's 7 Mindsets theme, Passion First, we're highlighting what inspired our principals to pursue education and what continues to motivate them today. We're also taking a look back at where their journeys began with photos from early in their careers alongside photos from today! In Her Own Words: "My mom was my greatest motivator and the person who first inspired me to pursue a career in education. Through her example, she taught me the importance of believing in others, encouraging them to reach their potential, and making a difference in their lives. Her love, encouragement, and unwavering belief in me continue to inspire me every day and remind me of the lasting impact we can have when we invest in others. As a principal, I strive to carry that same spirit forward by creating meaningful opportunities and positive experiences for students and staff, knowing that even the smallest act of kindness, encouragement, or belief in someone can make a lasting difference."

Happy National Boss's Day to our Superintendent, Dr. Ken Oertling! 👏 In celebration of National Boss's Day and this month's 7 Mindsets theme, Passion First, we're shining the spotlight on Dr. Oertling and what first inspired his passion for education and what continues to motivate him. We're also sharing a photo from earlier in his career alongside one from today! In His Own Words: "My passion for education began while serving in the U.S. Navy aboard a submarine, where I discovered how rewarding it was to help fellow sailors understand concepts and experience that moment when learning finally clicks. That experience inspired me to become a science teacher and sparked a lifelong commitment to helping others learn, grow, and reach their full potential. As superintendent, that passion continues to grow through the opportunity to positively influence not only individual students and educators, but an entire school system and, ultimately, public education across Louisiana." Join us in celebrating Dr. Oertling and thanking him for his leadership and the positive impact he continues to make on our students, employees, families, and the entire SCPPS community! #YouAndIWeAreSCPPS #PassionFirst #YouBelongHere📍

Vial Elementary School and our 2026-2027 SCPPS Principal of the Year! 🏆 Throughout October, we're sharing the stories behind our principals' passion for education, inspired by this month's 7 Mindsets theme, Passion First. We're also taking a look back at where their journeys began with photos from early in their careers alongside photos from today! In Her Own Words: "My passion for education started with my elementary PE teacher, Coach Freeze, who used sports to build my confidence and completely changed how I showed up in the classroom.

Supporting our teachers and building a welcoming school culture where both students and staff thrive is what keeps me going every day."

Before we post, share, or comment, it helps to pause and think. This week’s Digital Wellness resources remind us that online actions can leave tracks. As we focus on digital footprints, students are encouraged to think carefully about what they post and how it may impact themselves and others. Families can also explore their own digital footprints and discuss what information should remain private. Check out the resources for simple tips, conversation starters, and activities to help students and families make thoughtful choices online! 💻 #DigitalWellness #YouBelongHere📍 #YouAndIWeAreSCPPS
SCPPS October Digital Wellness graphic for families focusing on digital footprints. Before sharing a photo, caption, or update, ask: Who can see this? Could it embarrass someone later? Does it share personal information? Would we be proud of it tomorrow? Weekly activity: Search your family name together and discuss what information is public, what should remain private, and what you want your online footprint to show. AI connection: Compare a traditional web search with an AI search to see what public information appears about your family.
