Willow Welcomes Lafayette Mayor for Enjoyable Visit

Since she was sworn in at the beginning of the year, Monique Blanco Boulet wanted to learn more about all the good things happening at Willow Charter Academy. So, the first female mayor-president for Lafayette Parish took it upon herself to reach out and schedule a visit to get a firsthand look at what she had heard from others who sang the praises of the school.



Boulet visited Willow on Tuesday, Oct. 29 and commended Principal Jessica Dominique on her presence and the school’s lively atmosphere, saying “the influence of a great principal can never be erased.”



“She really enjoyed her visit,” said Sydney Wilson, an admissions representative for National Heritage Academies (NHA). “She said we had a vibrant school.”



Boulet was welcomed by Willow’s school ambassadors and school leadership as she toured the school, talked with students and staff, and learned about Willow and NHA’s monthly Moral Focus virtues.



Thank you for coming to Willow, Mayor Boulet! We look forward to seeing you in the future!
