North Vermilion High School Principal Denise Lotief has spent more than three decades working in education.
Lotief announced that time is now coming to an end.
“After 32 incredible years in education, I’m stepping into a new chapter of my life — retirement,” Loteif said in a post on social media. “This decision has not been easy, as this has truly been my second home for so long.”

The Vermilion Parish NAACP #6276 and Mt. Triumph Baptist Church hosted the Fourth Annual Miss Juneteenth Pageant on June 7 at the Abbeville High School Auditorium.
The participants showcased their talents, beauty, etiquette, and humility, as noted by the organizers. Representatives from both the Vermilion Parish NAACP and Mt. Triumph Baptist Church expressed their gratitude to all the parents who supported their children in this event. They also thanked the community for coming out to support the girls, as well as the judges and the master of ceremonies, Lawana Stokes.

It’s still early in the summer, so kids definitely don’t want to think too much about returning to school.
However, when the year does begin in August, should a student at J.H. Williams Middle School in Abbeville need something for school on a given day, he or she won’t have to think about where to find it.
For the past two years, the Wildcat Wardrobe at J.H. Williams has provided students with various necessities that may arise during a school day. Layla Bolden, the school’s behavior interventionist,  helped organize the effort.
