SULS Partners with SU Tennis Team to Introduce Tennis to Elementary Students
Southern University Laboratory School has partnered with the Southern University Tennis Team to introduce our Elementary students to the sport of tennis. This exciting collaboration promotes physical activity, skill-building, and mentorship by connecting young students with collegiate athletes who inspire on and off the court.
Southern University Laboratory School is excited to announce a new partnership that’s sure to be a smash hit! We’ve teamed up with members of the Southern University and A&M College Tennis Team to introduce our Elementary students to the fast-paced, fun, and fundamental sport of tennis.
This exciting initiative kicks off with tennis lessons led by Miss Deang Baluck, a standout student-athlete on the Southern University Tennis Team. During Physical Education classes, Miss Baluck—alongside our very own Coach Chaney—will guide students through tennis basics, from learning how to hold a racket to developing hand-eye coordination and movement skills.
But that’s not all—students will also have the opportunity to visit and play on the Southern University Tennis Courts, gaining experience in a collegiate setting while being inspired by role models right from their own community.
This partnership reflects our commitment to providing diverse athletic experiences for our students, promoting physical activity, and encouraging them to explore new talents and interests.
We’re proud to collaborate with Southern University Athletics and can’t wait to watch our young Kittens grow and thrive on the court!

Kameron Tillage Receives Silver Congressional Award from Congressman Graves
Kameron Tillage, a senior at Southern University Laboratory School, was awarded the prestigious Silver Congressional Award by Congressman Garret Graves on October 1, 2024. This honor recognizes Kameron's dedication to personal development, leadership, and over 200 hours of community service, including meal distributions and initiatives for local senior homes. As Senior Class President and a member of Jack and Jill of America, Kameron has demonstrated remarkable leadership and academic achievement, maintaining a 3.5 GPA while balancing honors, AP, and Dual Enrollment courses. Congressman Graves praised Kameron for his commitment to making a difference in the community, highlighting his balanced approach to academics, extracurriculars, and service. Kameron views this award as motivation to continue his impactful work in Baton Rouge and beyond.
Baton Rouge, LA: October 1, 2024—Southern University Laboratory School senior Kameron Tillage is no stranger to success, but on October 1, 2024, he reached a new milestone in his journey. At a special ceremony, Congressman Garret Graves honored Kameron with the prestigious Silver Congressional Award, recognizing his outstanding commitment to personal development, volunteerism, and leadership.
It was a moment that felt like the culmination of years of hard work for the young leader, who has long been a standout in both his school and community. As Senior Class President and Secretary of the Student Government Association, Kameron has been a driving force at Southern University Laboratory School. He uses his platform to advocate for his peers and is active in meaningful projects. But his leadership doesn’t stop at the school gates. Kameron is also an active member of the Baton Rouge Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated, where he served as Sergeant at Arms and Immediate Past Vice President. His dedication to the organization’s mission led him to win the Teen Regional Conference Art Photography Contest and 2nd place in the Regional Teen Conference Humorous Monologue, showcasing his artistic talent.
Academically, Kameron has taken on the challenge of a rigorous course load, maintaining a 3.5 GPA while balancing a schedule packed with honors, Advanced Placement (AP), and Dual Enrollment classes. He also lettered in varsity football. Yet, his service to the community truly sets him apart. Kameron has dedicated over 200 volunteer hours, participating in initiatives that include meal distributions to older people, organizing Valentine’s Day card deliveries, and participating in drives to support local senior homes.
“It’s not just about the award,” Kameron shared. “For me, it’s about giving back to others and knowing that the small things can make a big impact.” This philosophy has shaped Kameron’s approach to service, driving him to participate in and lead efforts that spread joy and comfort those in need.
His dedication paid off with the Silver Congressional Award, a prestigious honor given by the U.S. Congress to recognize civilian youth for their community service and personal growth achievements. During the award ceremony, Congressman Graves spoke about Kameron’s contributions, praising his ability to balance academics, extracurriculars, and service with passion and poise.
“Kameron represents the best of what our youth can achieve,” Congressman Graves said. “He’s a shining example of the impact young leaders can have when they commit to serving others and building stronger communities.”
For Kameron, the medal is just the beginning. “This award motivates me to do even more and keep finding ways to make a positive difference,” he said. And with his track record, there’s little doubt that he will continue making his mark in Baton Rouge and beyond.

These changes are designed to enhance the learning environment and ensure our students have access to modern, safe, and comfortable spaces.
At our school, we believe that education is not only about acquiring knowledge but also about fostering a love for learning. Our highly qualified and enthusiastic teachers are passionate about their subjects and are dedicated to creating an environment where curiosity and intellectual growth flourish.
As we prepare for an exciting and productive year ahead, I want to share some important updates and information with you.
Middle School Block Scheduling
This year, our middle school will be shifting to block scheduling. Students will now have four 90-minute classes each day. Within these blocks, students will attend math and English classes every day. They will visit their Social Studies, Science, P.E. and elective every other day. This change aims to provide deeper learning opportunities and a more focused instructional approach. Migrating to block scheduling will also reduce the number of transitions for middle school students.
Open House/Orientation
We are excited to invite you to our Open House/Orientation on Monday, August 5, 2024, starting at 9:00 am. Due to our ongoing renovations, the event will be held at the F.G. Clark Activity Center (Mini Dome). This orientation is a crucial opportunity for you to meet teachers, learn about the upcoming school year, and understand our expectations and goals. Students will receive their schedules and be allowed to turn in pertinent information relative to the start of school.
Communication and Email Updates
Effective communication between school and home is essential. Therefore, we urge all parents to ensure we have up-to-date and accurate email addresses. Our school utilizes Google Classroom as its learning management system. Soon, students will receive invitations to join their respective Google Classroom cohorts. Once students accept these invitations, parents will also receive invitations. It is vital for parents to accept these invitations to stay informed about assignments and other important information.
Student Attendance
Consistent attendance is critical for academic success. Students must attend school regularly, arrive on time, and be present for the full instructional day. Students can be dropped off at 7:30 AM and class begins promptly at 7:50 AM. According to the Compulsory Attendance Law, elementary students must attend a minimum of 167 days per school year, and middle and high school students must attend a minimum of 81 days per semester or 162 days per school year.
Cafeteria Information
We are offering different payment options for school meals. Families can purchase breakfast and lunch daily, weekly, or monthly through MyMealTime.com. Please visit the link provided for detailed instructions on how to set up an account and make payments. Starting Fall 24’ breakfast will increase to $2.75.

SULS Uniforms 24
As we gear up for the 2024-2025 school year, we are excited to announce the launch of our new uniform ordering process. Southern University Laboratory School, in collaboration with the PTO, has partnered with The Printing Source to streamline the uniform purchasing experience for our families.

Dear Parents,
As we gear up for the 2024-2025 school year, we are excited to announce the launch of our new uniform ordering process. Southern University Laboratory School, in collaboration with the PTO, has partnered with The Printing Source to streamline the uniform purchasing experience for our families.
In previous years, the Kitten Store has efficiently handled our uniform orders. However, as our school continues to grow, the volunteer-run Kitten Store has reached its capacity. Therefore, we have decided to transition our uniform ordering process to The Printing Source to better accommodate our expanding school community.
Starting this year, uniforms will be ordered online via the https://mytshirtquote.com/sulab/shop/home website. We believe that this partnership will provide an efficient and convenient way for parents to purchase uniforms for their children.
To assist you with any questions you may have regarding the uniform ordering process, we have attached a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) sheet to this email. Please take a moment to review it, and feel free to reach out if you need further clarification.
Thank you for your cooperation and support as we implement these changes to enhance the uniform purchasing experience for our school community.
Sincerely,
Herman R. Brister
Director
Southern University Laboratory School

Exploring Art and Culture: SULS Visits the New Orleans Art Museum

Exploring Art and Culture: Southern University Laboratory School Visits the New Orleans Art Museum
Recently, the students of Southern University Laboratory School embarked on an enriching journey to explore the vibrant art culture of New Orleans at the esteemed New Orleans Art Museum (NOMA).
Founded on December 16, 1911, with just nine works of art, NOMA has since evolved into a renowned institution boasting an impressive permanent collection of nearly 50,000 artworks. With extraordinary strengths in French and American art, photography, glass, and African and Japanese works, NOMA stands as one of the premier art museums in the South.
During their visit, our students had the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich artistic heritage of New Orleans firsthand. From iconic masterpieces to contemporary creations, they were able to appreciate and examine a diverse array of artworks, gaining valuable insights into the cultural tapestry of the city.
As they roamed through the museum's halls, our students were captivated by the beauty and significance of each piece, fostering a deeper appreciation for the arts and igniting their creativity. The experience not only broadened their artistic horizons but also encouraged them to embrace the diverse perspectives and expressions showcased within the museum's walls.
At Southern University Laboratory School, we believe in the power of experiential learning to inspire and educate our students. Our visit to NOMA exemplifies our commitment to providing enriching opportunities that broaden their minds and enrich their lives.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to NOMA for opening its doors to our students and allowing them to embark on this unforgettable artistic journey. As we continue to nurture the next generation of thinkers, creators, and innovators, we look forward to many more opportunities for exploration and discovery.
Stay tuned for more exciting updates and adventures from Southern University Laboratory School! Thank you Ms. June for enlightening our students with this experience.
