Bossier Parish School Board celebrated its dedicated educators during a recent meeting, highlighting the ongoing recognition of outstanding teachers through the "Gold Star" program. The initiative, which honors exceptional educators, is set to culminate in a year-end celebration later this month.

During the session, a special presentation was made to a notable teacher, who was praised for his humble spirit and commitment to fostering an inclusive environment at Houghton High School. The teacher's connection to his students was emphasized, with a nod to the school's supportive culture, encapsulated in the phrase, "Once a buck, always a buck."

The board also expressed gratitude to Bossier Federal Credit Union for its long-standing support of the Gold Star program, as well as to the Bossier Press Tribune for its coverage of the initiative over the past 12 years. This partnership has played a crucial role in celebrating the achievements of educators in the community.

As the school year draws to a close, the anticipation builds for the upcoming celebration, which promises to honor the hard work and dedication of Bossier Parish's educators.
