This is an extraordinary speech that Kallen LeBlanc, a graduated senior at Vermilion Catholic, delivered to the sophomore class during a recent Catholic retreat.

The Vermilion Parish School District is taking a significant step by offering some teachers more money, aiming to address the teaching voids in the school system for the upcoming year.
The Louisiana legislature approved $61 million in “differential pay” that school districts could use to pay higher salaries to teachers in hard-to-fill
positions. Vermilion Parish will receive $333,000 of the $61 million
There are four categories in which the school district can use the money.
• Teacher Shortage Areas
•Economically Disadvantaged Schools
