Dear STPPS Family,

The Thanksgiving holiday is just around the corner, and we could not be more grateful for the incredible people that make up our school system. In just a few short months, our students have shown tremendous growth and achievement. Across the district, our dedicated staff continues to come together to Launch Excellence and prepare students for the opportunities of tomorrow.

Please take a look below to see what's ahead and the latest news. Thank you for being an integral part of the St. Tammany Parish Public School System.
