Only nine finalists statewide were selected.
The Louisiana Department of Education announced the finalists this week, recognizing educators who are making exceptional gains with students and helping them achieve at the highest levels in the state.
“We are incredibly proud of Alysa and Dr. Boffy for advancing to the finalist round,” said LPSS Superintendent Francis Touchet, Jr. “Both educators are making a tremendous impact on students and represent the commitment to excellence found throughout Lafayette Parish schools.”
