Cyndi Beaubouef has been recognized as the 2024 Region 8 Northeast Louisiana Arts Council Educator of the Year. She was nominated by Mrs. Sheri Flynn. Because Mrs. Beaubouef was in Savannah, GA with WHS students at the National Beta Convention, Mrs. Flynn accepted the award, that included a $500.00 check, in her place at the presentation ceremony held in Monroe.  

The Northeast Louisiana Arts Council nurtures a vibrant regional arts culture through support, promotion, and education. Establishing positive relationships with the business community, educational systems, tourism industry, and government agencies, the Council serves as a cultural liaison to develop new opportunities and partnerships.
