Gracie Bourgeois, of Gracepoint Christian Academy in Jonesboro has been selected as a National 4-H Conference Delegate, where she will represent Jackson Parish and the state of Louisiana. 

The daughter of Jackson Parish 4-H Director Kristina Bourgeois is one of four from Louisiana who will go to the National Conference that will be held in Washington, D.C., on April 10-15, 2026. 

Conference delegates engage in personal development experiences that increase their knowledge, resources, and skills while they discuss topics affecting youth and 4‑H programming nationwide. Delegates not only learn while at the conference: they are empowered to create positive social change in their communities and have the opportunity to practice and apply their skills in a real-world setting.
