The Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office (APSO) is investigating an incident that initiated in the area of Dutchtown Primary, Middle, and High schools and quickly moved toward Airline Highway. At the request of APSO, Prairieville Middle School (PVM) went into lockdown as they searched for suspects.

The suspects were apprehended quickly, and the lockdown at PVM was lifted. Our Dutchtown area schools were not advised by APSO to go into lockdown as the suspects quickly moved out of the proximity of those schools.

Ascension Public Schools Superintendent David Alexander announces his decision not to renew his contract after June 30, 2023. Alexander made the announcement at tonight's Ascension Parish School Board Meeting.

Over the past two months, students at five primary schools in Ascension Public Schools participated in the Seed Survivor Mobile Classroom, a program that educates students in grades 3-5 about the importance of agriculture. 

Three students from Ascension Public Schools are currently enrolled in a competitive program known as the Young Entrepreneurs Academy of Baton Rouge, or YEA BR. Miah Brown, a senior at St. Amant High School; Lilian Tepper, a junior at Dutchtown High School; and Jayla Walker, a senior at Donaldsonville High School were selected from a pool of applicants in the Greater Baton Rouge Area. 

Donaldsonville High School will have an early release at 12:45 p.m. today due to the ongoing power outage.

All Ascension Public Schools and offices will resume normal operations on Thursday, December 15, 2022.

Following the storms that rolled through Ascension Parish today, maintenance department employees completed damage assessments at our campuses and have cleared all schools to reopen.

Ascension Public Schools announces the 2022-23 Students of the Year district winners for fifth, eighth, and twelfth grades: Sorrento Primary's Barrett Petite, Dutchtown Middle's Shrey Shah, and St. Amant High's Ephraim Craddock.
