Breaux named LAHS Student of the Year

Each year, three students are chosen from the two schools in Lake Arthur as Students of the Year. When choosing a student of the year, it is not as easy as one may think. Each school has several students who are deserving of the reward. Lake Arthur Junior High School (LAJHS) eighth grade honor student Auto Daniel Breaux is one of those very deserving students and he was chosen as the LAJHS Student of the Year. There are several reasons why he has been chosen as the 2018-2019 LAJHS Student of the Year, including his outstanding grades, as well as community and school involvement.
