We are excited to celebrate three outstanding young ladies who represented Bossier Parish Schools on the national stage at the Educators Rising National Conference in Portland, Oregon!
To earn the opportunity to compete nationally, these students first had to win at the state level, proving they are among the very best in Louisiana. They then traveled to Portland to compete against thousands of students from across the country—and they did not disappoint!
Results:
🎉 Kinley Johnson (Benton Middle School)
🥇National Red Ribbon Winner – Interactive Bulletin Board, Elementary
Highest Scoring Middle School Student
🎉 Angele Gutierrez (Greenacres Middle School)
🥈 National Runner-Up – Public Speaking
🎉 Eva Salter (Benton Middle School)
National Competitor – Interactive Bulletin Board, Elementary
This event marks three consecutive years in which Bossier’s own Pre-Educator students have achieved top marks on the national stage.
These future difference-makers showcased their talent, creativity, leadership, and dedication while proudly representing their schools, their community, and all of Bossier Parish.
Please join us in congratulating Kinley, Angele, and Eva on these remarkable accomplishments. We are very proud of the way they represented Louisiana and Bossier Parish Schools!
Special thank you to A+PEL for being a Legacy Sponsor and supporting student travel!
