HOUMA, La. (AP) Corey Duplechin and son Alden Duplechin achieved their goals together this week.
The Houma duo walked across the stage Wednesday night for the Bayou Cane Adult Education Center’s graduation ceremony.
Corey Duplechin said he was supposed to graduate in 1990, but that’s when Terrebonne Parish’s public school teachers went on strike for 41 school days. Amid the disruption, Corey dropped out and went to work.
His son, Alden, wasn’t fitting in with traditional education, and his school shut down and went to online instruction at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic just over a year ago.
