Southern University Laboratory School is proud to partner with the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission in launching a dynamic student-led seat-belt safety campaign ahead of the 2024 Bayou Classic. Our SULS Cheer Team created an energetic and inspiring safety video reminding all Louisiana travelers to “Buckle Up—Every Trip, Every Time.” As families and fans make their way to New Orleans for the big game, this collaboration highlights the power of student voices in promoting safer roads and stronger communities.

Congratulations to Anwar McKenney Jr. and Brock Dukes, who placed 1st and 4th at the 2025 Marshall-Brennan Moot Court Competition. These outstanding students will advance to the national competition in Washington, D.C.! Both students showcased exceptional advocacy skills while tackling complex Fourth Amendment issues. We are proud of their achievements and excited for what’s ahead!

🌊 Elementary Students Explore Ocean Commotion !
Our third and fifth grade students had an unforgettable experience this week at Ocean Commotion, hosted by Louisiana Sea Grant at LSU. Led by Mrs. Boudreaux and Mrs. Williams, students engaged with hands-on exhibits, met scientists, and learned about Louisiana’s coastal environment in fun and interactive ways. Events like this help bring science to life and inspire our young scholars to explore the world around them. We’re proud of our Kittens for representing SULS with curiosity and enthusiasm!

Southern Lab sophomore Kalen Williams recently earned national recognition when the NCAA’s official FCS account selected one of his game-day photos as a Top Pic of the Week. Capturing Southern University’s matchup against Jackson State, Kalen’s photo of running back Trey Holly in action showcased his growing talent and passion for photography. Balancing academics with creative pursuits, Kalen continues to make his mark both behind the camera and in the classroom—proving that excellence at SULS comes in many forms.

Please rest assured that all students are safe and are handling the situation with the resilience and grace we’ve come to expect from our Kittens.
