Athlos Academy of Jefferson Parish Celebrates Grand Opening
Athlos Academies was pleased to celebrate the grand opening of our newest school, Athlos Academy of Jefferson Parish in Terrytown, Louisiana.
With more than 1,000 attendees at the grand opening and ribbon cutting event, Athlos welcomed future students and their families, teachers, staff, community members, and local dignitaries.
“A strong charter school can enrich the educational landscape of a community. I saw the need in our community and knew Athlos Academy of Jefferson Parish would rise up to meet this need and provide our children with opportunities to achieve and grow in so many ways,” said Athlos Academy of Jefferson Parish board chair Ben Bourgeois. “This school was created to prepare tomorrow’s leaders and to create an environment that supports success.”
Following the program, a ribbon-cutting ceremony took place on the turf. Athlos students were able to participate in the cutting ceremony, while Bourgeois made the ceremonial cut. We are very excited to see this school become a reality and are looking forward to its bright future.
