Every two years the LHSAA reclassifies each school based on the current student enrollment. This was done a couple of weeks ago, with the most dramatic change for area schools being that Jonesboro-Hodge dropped from Class AA to Class A.

This past week the initial plan of how the new districts would be aligned was released. Schools will have the opportunity to appeal before final districts will be drawn up but as of now, all three Jackson Parish schools and neighboring schools Saline and Dodson have been affected as follows.

Jonesboro-Hodge – The Tigers have been slotted to be in District 1-1A. Additional members include: Arcadia, Cedar Creek (Moved from District 2-1A), Glenbrook Academy (Minden), Haynesville, Lincoln Prep (Moved from District 2-1A) and Plain Dealing

Quitman and Weston – Remains in District 1B with Castor and Doyline but now Simsboro will join, moving from District 2B

Saline – Moves from District 2C to District 1C where they will join Claiborne Christian (West Monroe), Gibsland-Coleman and Summerfield

Dodson – Remains in District 2C along with Calvin and Georgetown with Harrisonburg (moved from Class B) and Sicily Island (moved from Class A) joining.
