Open House at DeRidder Elementary School

The newly constructed DeRidder Elementary School was opened for the new school year this August. A ribbon cutting was held at the school on October 25.  The Greater Beauregard Chamber of Commerce sponsored a ribbon cutting. In addition, there was a time capsule donated by the Warren family which will be opened in 50 years. Writings from students as well as newspaper articles and other artifacts were placed in the capsule. The VFW Post 3619 and Auxiliary donated a new American flag for the school’s use and made a formal presentation to the school. An open house followed with tours of the school open to the public. The new building was made possible by the citizens of Beauregard Parish through the 2019 Bond Proposition.
