Nearly 40 students representing 10 different Caddo high schools have committed to becoming a teacher. These students participated in an Educators Signing Day as they pursue careers to become future educators. Select students that have completed the Teaching Professions course offered at the Caddo Career and Technology Center and will enter college with six transferable credits from LSUS.
