In 2009 the federal Pep Grant funding was awarded to Caddo Parish Schools which made it possible for our school system to provide consistent teacher training in best practices, to improve instructional strategies and methods, shift teacher's practices to focus on students developing the skills needed to live healthy lifestyles, and develop changes and implementations in the way physical education in taught in the schools. One of these programs took place at Caddo Heights over the Summer. We took a tour of the program. Click here to take the tour with us!
