Since I was only in Victoria about 4 years before moving on, I still keep in contact with my friends from High & Grade school in Metairie. A couple of us have gotten together over the past few years.

Worked as an Early Childhood Area Manager for Head start for 4 years then began teaching at the DisciplineAlternativeEducationProg in Jacksonville: 4 core subjects for 3-8th grade and high school electives-housing, art, apparel, and nutrition. After 6 years there, taught 7&8th grade science and high school Chemistry at a 1A district.
