After 50 years, Freyhan building restored to serve as St. Francisville hub

Julius Freyhan Foundation members, West Feliciana Parish School Board members and residents gathered Sept. 19 to celebrate the official ribbon-cutting for the newly renovated Julius Freyhan School, a landmark that has been restored to serve as a hub for education, culture and community

Originally built in 1907, the Julius Freyhan School closed in the 1950s. Through the Freyhan Foundation, the School Board and community partners, the building has been renovated to preserve its historic charm while providing modern amenities for future generations.

“This moment is truly historic for our town, our parish, and our school system,” said West Feliciana Parish schools Superintendent Hollis Milton. “The Julius Freyhan School now stands as a bridge between our past and our

Ryan Moore intercepted a pass with less than one minute remaining to secure a 22-20 come-from-behind victory for the Knights, 4-1, 1-0 District 8-2A. East Feliciana led 14-0 after the first quarter and held the lead going into the fourth quarter but Episcopal rallied and took a 20-14 lead at the two-minute mark on a rushing touchdown and successful two-point conversion. But the Tigers quickly marched down the field and, with less than one minute remaining, Kayden Wilson scored on a rushing

Voters to direct

East Feliciana Parish voters who go to the polls Oct. 11 or vote early will see an unusual tax proposition on their ballots as the Police Jury attempts to correct a long-ago misallocation of a revenue stream.

Early voting will continue from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. through Saturday at the Registrar of Voters Office in Clinton. Regardless of the heading, “InLieu Millage,” the proposition is not a new tax and voters will not see a property tax increase if it passes, jury President Louis Kent said.

The jury is simply attempting to change the manner in which surplus revenue from a 3-mill Health Unit property tax is used to fund parish road work and general Police Jury operations, he said.

“It’s actually a rededication,” Kent said, pointing out that other parishes have rededicated tax revenues without raising them.

Jury Vice President Chrissie O’Quin said, to the best of her understanding, the last sentence of the proposal says “to replace a tax,” which is where it indicates rededication of the last tax renewal.

Currently, after the budget needs of the health unit are met with the tax revenues, 90% of any surplus money can be allocated to the Road and Bridge Fund and 10% to the General Fund.

The tax was last approved on Nov 18, 2023, for 10 years. At one time, however, the surplus was split 50-50 between the two funds, but at some point, the 90-10 split was instituted for reasons Kent and other jurors have said they cannot explain.

“It should have been 90-10 the other way,” Kent said, with the bulk of the surpluses going to the General Fund.

If voters approve the change, the proposition will still authorize the jury to fund the health unit, but use any annual surplus revenues “for any lawful purpose, including, but not limited to construction, improving and maintaining public roads, highways and bridges, including equipment therefore. ” Kent said the Health Unit is wellfunded at the moment, but the jury’s General Fund suffers from a lack of money

O’Quin said the jury’s General Fund supports many outside agencies that the jury is not required by law to support, as well as others it must support such as the parish

‘Creative ecosystem’

State official stops in East Feliciana for COA painting, quilting programming

The director of art education and accessibility with the Division of the Arts, Office of Cultural Development stopped in Clinton recently to check out art and quilting classes hosted by the East Feliciana Council on Aging. Quaja Bell, who met the group at an exhibition at the State Capitol, said she wanted to show her support to the COA artists and spotlight the creations made in painting and quilting classes. The agency is under the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism. Bell had met with COA members during the summer when they were a part of a special display of arts and crafts at the State Capitol.

After a meal, Bell went to the Clinton COA site for a brief tour and a painting lesson.

Bell said she liked getting out into the rural area sometimes called marginalized areas. She mentioned that one of her first visits to the area was more than 10 years before when she taught a pottery class at a nearby Clinton church.

Bell said her team works with a variety of groups, organizations and nonprofits including teachers and

veterans She described her team’s efforts as part of a “creative ecosystem” and said “people love that about Louisiana.” Quilter and artist Douglas Campbell said he liked the ecosystem description in that “one depends on the

other.”

The ribbon-cutting ceremony featured remarks from school officials and foundation members, followed by tours of the restored facility and a concert by the Sonny Landreth Trio.

Milton specifically mentioned Betsy Levasseur, Nancy Vinci and the Freyhan Foundation for working with the school system. He pointed out that Vinci, for 50 years, has advocated for the renovation.

“The Julius Freyhan School is a living testament to the community’s commitment to excellence and preservation,” Milton said.

Ford also completed two of three passes for 24 yards and one touchdown for the Knights, 4-0, 1-0 District 8-2A. Slaughter scored on all but one drive and the Knights’ defense pitched its four shutout of the season.

Thomas Carter added a pair of touchdowns, including a 30-yard interception return and a 24-yard recep-

tion, for Slaughter

Colton Borg caught a pair of touchdown passes and converted eight point-aftertouchdown attempts.

Five different Knights scored touchdowns.

“Our defense played great again and our offense capitalized on turnovers that the defense forced,” coach Patrick Clarkston said Slaughter travels to Pride on Friday for a district matchup with Northeast, 3-1, 0-1.

“We need to keep up the intensity and not get comfortable with where we are,” Clarkston said. “There is still much we want to accomplish.

The 2025 Flight Crew of STEM Next is ready for takeoff, and East Feliciana Public Schools is on board. At the Sept. 2 meeting of the East Feliciana Parish School Board, East Feliciana Public Schools recognized East Feliciana High School student Brianna Leggett, who is one of 77 students from across the nation to join the largest Flight Crew cohort to date.
