Rylann Viator is proud to be part of the Erath community, right down to its distinctive color. 
“Where I come from, it’s not royal blue; it’s Bobcat blue,” Viator said proudly. “We are one town, one family and one community.”
That community can now, in turn, take pride in Viator, as the 8th-grader at Erath Middle School has been named the Vermilion Parish Middle School Student of the Year.
“I couldn’t be prouder to represent Erath Middle School as the 2024-2025 student of the year and Vermilion Parish as their Parish Student of the Year,” Viator said.

2024 Erath High Homecoming Grand Marshal Nellie Broussard

2024 Erath High Homecoming Grand Marshal

Wed, 10/16/2024 - 10:45am

Imagine a child strolling into a 1st-grade classroom and then sixty-one years later, you can still see that person walking the halls of that same school as an active participant. It is a feat not many (if any) can claim. Though roles shifted from student to teacher through the years, In Erath, Nellie Broussard is that rare example.
As a 1st grader many years ago, she began her journey at Erath High, which housed grades 1-12 at that time. (PreK and Kindergarten didn’t exist in public schools until much later.)
