2026 Louisiana Elementary School Principal of the Year

Welcome back to a brand new school year at Grand Coteau Elementary!

I am thrilled to welcome all our students, families, and staff to what promises to be an exciting and inspiring year. Our theme this year, "Unleash the Super Leader in Me," invites every member of our school community to discover and develop their unique leadership powers.

At Grand Coteau Elementary, we believe that leadership isn’t just for adults—it lives in every student, teacher, and family member. This year, we will focus on building confidence, kindness, responsibility, and creativity, empowering our young learners to step up, make positive choices, and lead by example both inside and outside the classroom.

Together, let’s unleash the super leader in each of us and make this year one filled with growth, achievement, and joy!

Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!
