The month of January was 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 Wade McBride, who has represented District 6 on the Jackson Parish School Board for the past 33 years.

Today, we are excited to continue highlighting our school board members by recognizing Wade McBride for his outstanding 33 years of service on the Jackson Parish School Board. Across more than three decades, Mr. McBride has demonstrated a deep sense of dedication and care for the students and schools of Jackson Parish. His longevity on the board speaks to his commitment to thoughtful decision-making and long-term stewardship of public education in our community. – Jackson Parish School District
