The month of January is National School Board Member Recognition Month. As a result, the Jackson Parish School District is recognizing the board members who have worked diligently to provide local students with the best education experience possible. Their leadership and countless hours of service help ensure strong schools and bright futures for every child we serve.

Being recognized in this edition of the Jackson Parish Journal is Calvin Waggoner, who has remarkably represented District 1 on the Jackson Parish School Board for the past 27 years.

Through decades of change in public education, Mr. Waggoner has provided steady guidance, institutional knowledge, and a focus on what matters most—doing what’s best for students. His service has helped shape the direction of our district for generations.

The Jackson Parish School District is grateful for his commitment, vision, and continued service to public education as well as her unwavering dedication to our schools!
