St. Landry Parish School Board

Sedonia Davis, the 2020 valedictorian from Port Barre High School, who is currently majoring in neuroscience at Tulane University, visited Mrs. Beauchamp’s 3rd graders at Park Vista Elementary. She explained the importance of getting an education and the benefits of making good grades. Students were excited to hear about her studies with mice and areas of the brain. Sedonia also shared about her travels to Spain and India and taught the students about citizenship. Mrs. Beauchamp’s class is very excited to see what the future holds for Sedonia! Keep up the great work!
