School Culture
In 2010, State Superintendent Paul Pastorek led staff and school board members from the Saint Helena Parish School Board on a bus tour that included stops at Jackson Elementary School and East Feliciana Middle School. The purpose of the tour was to help Saint Helena replicate the success of what Pastorek described as "high-quality, high-performing schools."

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or culture:
“But I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not mind at all. I do not belong to the sobbing school of negrohood who hold that nature somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal.... No, I do not weep at the world—I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1907–1960)
“In society, in the best institutions of men, it is easy to detect a certain precocity. When we should still be growing children, we are already little men. Give me a culture which imports much muck from the meadows, and deepens the soil,—not that which trusts to heating manures, and improved implements, and modes of culture only!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
