Schools

Abbeville High School is one of 300 schools from 36 states across the country to receive a $5,000 grant through the Laura Bush Foundation for America’s Libraries. This year, the Laura Bush Foundation for America’s Libraries awarded $1.5 million in library grants this year.
Many of the libraries will use the funds to update and diversify their collections.
“Congratulations to the 2023 Laura Bush Foundation Grant Recipients! I am thrilled that school librarians across the country will soon be able to update their library collections,” Mrs. Bush said.

Abbeville High School now has a DECA club.
And it means business.
More specifically, the club helps to prepare, “Emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality and management.” DECA is a nearly 80-year-old student organization, with members all over the world.

Bailey Dupuis, is the recipient of the Vermilion Farm Bureau Federation Scholarship in the amount of $1000.
Farm Bureau is the state’s largest general farm organization representing farmers, ranchers and rural residents. Because we are a membership based organization, a very large number of our members are not farmers and ranchers, therefore; we have chosen to provide a scholarship to a graduating senior that is interested in a field of study outside of agriculture.
