Last week we had the opportunity to celebrate someone who makes a difference in the lives of our students every single day — Mrs. Allen, our incredible school social worker.
Mrs. Allen works tirelessly behind the scenes to support our students, families, and staff. Whether she’s helping students navigate challenges, offering encouragement, or simply being a listening ear when it’s needed most, her compassion and dedication never go unnoticed.
Because of Mrs. Allen, our school is a stronger, more supportive place where students know they are cared for and valued.
Thank you, Mrs. Allen, for the heart you pour into our school community. We appreciate you more than words can express!

Natchitoches Junior High Boys to Men Recognized for Outstanding Community Service
We are incredibly proud to share that the Boys to Men Club at Natchitoches Junior High School was recognized in the 2025 KALB-TV Christmas Cheer Food Drive for Natchitoches Parish!
Our students collected an amazing 955 pounds of non-perishable food, earning the title of TOP COLLECTING JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL IN THE PARISH 🏆👏 These donations will directly support food-insecure families right here in Natchitoches Parish during the holiday season.
This impactful food drive—sponsored by the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana, Paragon Casino Resort, and KALB-TV—highlights the power of coming together to serve our community. As part of this recognition, the Boys to Men Club received a $500 cash award from the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe.
The Boys to Men Club is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit service organization, and this achievement reflects what happens when young men lead with compassion, responsibility, and purpose.
👏 Thank you to our students, families, sponsors, and community partners for making this possible. This is what leadership looks like.
