Dear Port Barre High Community, Families, and Town,
Thank you for all you do for our children. Each day, I welcome every student and remind them that they matter to the Port Barre staff. We are committed to giving them the best instruction and are working tirelessly to improve our campus and facilities for their benefit. As I’ve said since day one, "Our kids deserve better." I believe that deeply and hope my efforts reflect that belief.
I ask that you please read this message and use the millage calculator linked above and below for your convenience. The facts are clear: we are one of the lowest-taxing parishes in the state, and it has been 40 years since we last addressed a millage for our schools. I live here, I pay taxes here, and my children deserve more. Please review the information, consider the facts, and make the decision you feel is best — I will respect your choice.
Thank you for taking the time to look into this and for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Coach Mac

Today, our school conducted its semesterly K-9 safety search as part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe, secure, and supportive learning environment for all students. These routine, preventative measures are conducted in partnership with local law enforcement and are designed to promote safety, responsibility, and peace of mind across our campus.
We are grateful for the cooperation of our students and staff throughout the process, which allowed the search to be completed efficiently and with minimal disruption to instruction. Keeping our school safe is a shared responsibility, and we appreciate the continued support of our families as we work together to provide the best possible environment for learning and growth.
Thank you for partnering with us in keeping student safety a top priority.

Please take a moment to review the attached brochure regarding the SLPSB Bond Millage 2026. A millage proposal has not been passed in 40 years, and it represents an important opportunity to invest in the future of our schools and our students.
I encourage you to carefully review the information, understand how the funds will be allocated, and make an informed decision. Our children deserve safe, modern, and well-supported learning environments.
Election Day is May 16, 2026. Please make plans to vote and support the future of our students and our community.
Thank you,
Coach Mac
