The Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux announced on Wednesday that veteran educator Cathy Long is the new principal at Holy Rosary School in Larose.

Long, who has a master’s degree in educational administration plus 30 hours from Nicholls State University, also has a bachelor of science degree in education and a degree as a specialist in education in administration in supervision.

She will replace longtime Holy Rosary principal Scott Bouzigard, who resigned from the school last year.


“We are very blessed to welcome Mrs. Cathy Long to the Holy Rosary family,” said Suzanne Troxclair, the diocesan superintendent of Catholic Schools. “Her commitment to both her faith and to the education of children will serve to foster a true collaborative effort for the formation of missionary disciples in this ever-important ministry of Catholic education in our diocese.”

Long is a veteran educator. She has served as an assistant professor at Nicholls and also was the assistant principal at Cut Off Elementary School during her career. 

She also owned and operated Educare Tutoring and Testing Center in Baton Rouge, as well as serving as the director of the Placement Testing Center at Baton Rouge Community College.


She has been selected to Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers and has been recognized by the Louisiana Department of Education for her innovative team teaching techniques for her work as an educator in East Baton Rouge Parish.
