Our very own Middle School Teacher of the Year was given a once in a lifetime opportunity ahead of the Defenders of Liberty Air Show! Sarah "Kate" McMillan, an 8th-grade English teacher at Caddo Middle Magnet, was nominated for a U.S. Navy Blue Angels incentive flight! These flights are offered to individuals who have a positive impact on the community and go above and beyond to take care of the people around them.
She teaches her students how to lead and provides them with opportunities to put those leadership skills into action. She has orchestrated several student-led volunteer events such as food drives, toy drives, and other fundraisers that give back to the community. #wearecaddo #BIGdreamsstarthere

We are excited to welcome Don Gibbs as the next Director of Security for Caddo Schools. He recently retired from the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office and was the Captain of Community Programs, Communications and Safety Town. During his 32 years with the department, he supervised and managed personnel for the 911 Center, directed crime prevention response initiatives, and worked patrol and investigations.
He is a devoted law enforcement professional who has built critical relationships with the community. As a product of Caddo Schools, he has a vested interest in the safety of our students and staff, and has established working partnerships with community organizations, which will play an integral part in his new role with the district.
Gibbs will lead security efforts for nearly 60 schools and other district sites, while overseeing security investigations.
