There are tremendous teachers and faculty throughout the Vermilion Parish School System, which helps make it successful.
However, when looking at what makes everything go, don’t overlook the leadership at each school.
Three such leaders are honored as Vermilion Parish Principals of the Year. This year, the winners are Dozier Elementary School’s Andrea Ford, J.H. Williams Middle School’s Diane Comeaux and Gueydan High School’s Nadine Lepretre.
For Lepretre, this award is her in name only.

Many have said that teaching is not a job but a calling.
Three educators in Vermilion Parish earn the honor of being called Teachers of the Year each year.
The Vermilion Parish School System recently announced Dozier Elementary School’s Mikel LeBlanc, North Vermilion Middle School’s Emily Miller, and North Vermilion High School’s Jonah Slason as this year’s honorees.
LeBlanc is a fourth-grade teacher at Dozier.

Isabel Granger put in the hard work to earn the honor of being named Vermilion Parish Elementary Student of the Year.
However, the fifth-grader from Seventh Ward Elementary also credits the unwavering support from her family and a great school environment for helping her succeed.
“It feels nice,” Granger said of the honor. “It definitely feels good because my family is very supportive. My mom, dad and family have always liked to encourage me.
“They cheer me on.”
