Cassie Theall McClelland sings the words of the Abbeville High alma mater every Friday morning, along with the chorus over the intercom speakers, because she “bleeds red and grey.”
“I came to school here, and teaching here now feels like I’m right where I belong,” says McClelland. “Being chosen by my colleagues affirms my choice to be here and part of this community, and this family. I am so proud to be a Wildcat.”

This Saturday, Abbeville will be featuring an Art and Jewelry Show downtown. From 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., Roger and Alice Boynton invite you to the show that will feature Katherine Klimitas, a New Orleans-based artist and designer who brings her love for all things artistic to live.
Katherine Klimitas, who sold her first watercolor at the age of 10, grew up in a household where her parents were veterinarians. Her artistic style reflects her life-long appreciation for animals and her belief that there is a lot that we can learn from our four-legged friends.
