Rowland described the emotional atmosphere at the ceremonies, highlighting the visible pride of students and the joy shared by families, friends, and school personnel.
“The look of pride and accomplishment beams from the faces of the graduates as they receive their diplomas,” he said. “The happiness and joy from family members and friends fills the air at each venue.

Rowland also acknowledged the dedication of educators and parents, thanking them for their role in student achievement.
“Knowing you had a positive influence in the lives of your students can be deeply rewarding for educators,” he said. “On behalf of the Webster Parish School Board, we say THANK YOU to all students, school staff members, and parents for working together to make the 2024-25 school year a success.”
Rowland concluded his message with well wishes for a safe and enriching summer and said the district looks forward to welcoming students back in August.
