Educational Leadership at Louisiana School Leaders
Our Leadership
We are excited to announce that Heather Brooks will serve as the Executive Director of LSL. With a wealth of experience in educational administration, Heather was recognized statewide as the 2023 Louisiana State Elementary Principal of the Year for her exceptional leadership and measurable impact on student achievement, making her a notable figure among Louisiana School Leaders.
A former elementary principal and a graduate of the Louisiana Superintendent’s Academy (Cohort 6), Heather was also inducted into the Southern Arkansas University Educational Leadership Hall of Fame in 2023. These honors reflect her significant contributions to school leadership.
