The St. Bernard Parish Public School System has announced its school-level Students of the Year for the 2026–2027 school year. Each student was selected in recognition of their accomplishments in academics, leadership, extracurricular activities, and citizenship.

The school-level honorees will now advance to the district-level competition, where a panel of community leaders and educators will interview the students and select an elementary, middle, and high school Student of the Year. The district winners will then advance for consideration at the regional and state levels.

Congratulations to this year’s Students of the Year:

St. Bernard Parish School Board President Mrs. Diana Dysart congratulated the students on being selected to represent their schools. “It is always inspiring to meet the students who represent our schools as Students of the Year,” Dysart said. “Their accomplishments in academics, leadership, extracurricular activities, and service reflect their individual dedication as well as the support of their families, teachers, and school communities. We are proud to recognize these outstanding young people and the example they set for others.”

Superintendent Mary Lumetta also congratulated this year’s honorees, noting that their accomplishments reflect the opportunities and support provided throughout St. Bernard Parish Public Schools. “These students are powerful examples of what learning can make possible,” Lumetta said. “They have shown that when students are challenged, supported, and given opportunities to lead, they can accomplish remarkable things. Across St. Bernard Parish Public Schools, we empower everyone, every day, to discover what they are capable of and to use what they learn to make a difference. Our Students of the Year truly embody what it means to be Powered by Learning.”
