                         Welcome From the Principal:

Thank you for visiting our website and welcome to our school. South Highlands has the distinction of being the highest achieving elementary school in the district and one of the highest in the state. We are the only elementary school in Louisiana designated a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence TWICE by the U.S. Department of Education, and we have
the honor of being named as a National Magnet School of Excellence by Magnet School's
of America. South Highlands is also a Top Gains and Equity Honoree School recognized
by the Louisiana Department of Education. We have also been designated an Arts Integration Model School for Louiaiana A+ Schools in conjunction with The George
Rodrigue Foundation.
We are very proud of our school for all of our academic accomplishents, but we are
even more proud of the loving, nurturing, and family-oriented enviroment we provide.
We believe all children are gifted and talented in unique ways, and consider it our
mission to support them academically, socially, and emotionally enabling them to
reach their full individual potential. Our dedicated faculty, supportive parents, and
talented students work together to make South Highlands the very best!
Built in 1922, students attending South Highlands have entered the doors of
831 Erie Street for almost 100 years. While many things have changed over the
years at South Highlands, our philosophy remains unchanged: academic excellence,
​ through the performing arts, in a child-centered and nurturing enviroment. The legacy is South Highlands.
If I can help you in any way or answer any questions, please feel free to email me or
call the school. I am so proud of our school, and I would love your family to be a part of our rich history and legacy.
