Terrebonne Foundation for Academic Excellence (TFAE) held its TFAE Celebrates Excellence event to honor students, educators, and an influential community member for their service.
Eleven students were honored as Distinguished Scholars, who were chosen for their ability to overcome challenges and obstacles in their life to still achieve academic success, be involved in their school and community, and serve as an example of leadership to their peers. Two students were chosen from each Terrebonne Parish high school, as well as one student from the Bayou Cane Adult Education Center.
Each scholar selected their own Inspirational Educator, a teacher who provided encouragement and inspiration in their life. Many scholars thanked their Inspirational Educators for being great motivators for them to do well in school and achieve their goals.
The 3019 Distinguished Scholars and their Inspirational Educators are:
Abigail Darcey and Mrs. Arlene Dehart, Terrebonne High School
Allyson Cobb and Mrs. Julie Bernard, Terrebonne High School
Andrew Le and Mr. Caleb White, South Terrebonne High School
Jamie Rhodes and Mrs. Christy Gregg. South Terrebonne High School

TFAE also presented the James J.
