Even before officially finishing high school, six students from Acadia Parish had completed two years of college and earned associate degrees.
These graduating seniors received their diplomas from Louisiana State University Eunice on May 14, weeks before their high school commencement ceremonies later this week.
They did this through the LSUE Academy, an early college dual enrollment program at the community college in 2017. Like other districts, the Acadia Parish School Board partners with the academy to offer classes and the college experience to high school students who qualify. The LSUE Academy allows our students to get a feel for the college experience right here in their own backyard, Superintendent Scott Richard said.

Ozarks Technical Community College will offer two sections of its Industrial Welding Specialist course this fall.
The 20-week course starts August 2 and goes through December 17. Students who graduate from the program will earn a welding technology certificate of achievement and 34 credit hours. They can then apply that toward an associate degree in welding technology. According to OTC, graduates of the program will be ready to work in the stainless steel and aluminum welding industries.
School officials say this is the first time they’ve offered two sections. They say they’ve had industry partners contact them saying they are desperate for welders.
