To celebrate great behavior and build positive community, the PBIS team at JES hosted a "Taste of Louisiana" Festival earlier this spring. Each grade level provided a tasty treat from one of Louisiana's famous festivals.

East Feliciana High School recently hosted a pathway career fair for all current 8th through 11th graders. Students were able to learn about college and career opportunities related to our pre-engineering, pre-educator, and environmental protection & sustainability pathways as well as opportunities in trades and for service. Community partners attending the EFHS Student Pathways fair included Baton Rouge Community College, Baton Rouge Fire Department, attorney LaTigdra Brown, Country Boy Smokers, barber Sammy Davis, DEMCO, the East Feliciana Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, East Feliciana Public Schools Human Resources, LSU College of Engineering, Pelican State Credit Union, the Southern University Ag Center, RKM Primary Care, and Upward Bound. Students in FFA, EFHS pre-engineering classes, and EFHS pre-educator classes also shared with their peers about their experiences. Ensuring each student has a clear pathway to graduate from high school with a meaningful credential is a priority of East Feliciana Public Schools.
