The faculty and staff of Evergreen Junior High School strive to provide opportunity for students to improve grade-level skills regardless of previous academic performance, family background, socioeconomic status, race or gender.  The school shares with the stakeholders the responsibility for the student’s development into a productive, educated, and contributing member of society. 

Five years ago Evergreen 7^th and 8^th grade students posted the lowest standardized test scores in the parish.  Since that time there has been an ongoing effort to improve the curriculum and student achievement.  Technology has been a major component of Evergreen school improvement plans and a major reason for our success.  Student achievement continues to be a major consideration in planning for technology.

Over the past three years, three computer labs have been established.  A Jostens Lab in room 303 is primarily concerned with preparing students for the LEAP and Iowa tests.  A keyboarding lab in room 309 is used to teach students keyboarding skills.  The library/media center is scheduled by classes to do Internet research.    Placing computers into individual classrooms and training teachers to integrate technology into the curriculum is our next priority.
