Just last week Rachelle Brown of LeBlanc Elementary School was named the Louisiana 2021 Elementary School Principal of the Year, which is one of three runner-up positions to Louisiana State Principal of the Year.
Brown started her first principal job at Leblanc Elementary two years ago and had helped the 10-year-old campus move into major changes, helping launch its Leader in Me program and the district’s first French immersion program at the school.

Instead of celebrating this Monday, Brown was busy at work getting the school ready for the first day of school this Tuesday.
That’s why her staff, students, and parents came together to give her a surprise celebration parade to show her just how amazing she is.
