2025 TPSS Talented Theatre World Premiere

For 26 years the Talented Theatre students at Amite and Sumner High Schools have created movies. This year marks the production of 77 movies. All the stories were developed by the students via screen treatments sessions.

The World Premiere will be Thursday, February 6, Amite Theatre, 7 pm. There will be three 20-minute movies, each exploring a social issue facing students. Admission is free.

”The Tangipahoa Talented Theatre movie project is the only one like it in Louisiana,” said project coordinator and Talented Theatre teacher Charley Vance.  

Wrecked explores how differently two sisters cope with the horror of their parents being killed in a car wreck.

Trapped is a comedy about a boy trying to date three girls at the same time. He faces the consequences when the girls, his half-sister, and mother conspire to teach him a lesson.

Not Possible is a story about a new girl trying to be friends with a popular girl. They feud until an unexpected discovery fosters a bond.

Amite High students participating in the movie project are Caiden Thomas, Aariya Coleman, Franklin, Morgan, Trezman Richardson, Clarissa Gaines, Lauryn Whigham Ja'Myron Dillion, Cayden Miller, Ariel Dixon and Jesse Walker.

January is School Board Recognition Month

As we begin the new year, it is my honor to share an important announcement. The Tangipahoa Parish School Board has approved and proclaimed January 2025 as School Board Recognition Month.

This month, we take time to recognize and express our gratitude for the dedicated service and leadership of our school board members. Their unwavering commitment to the success of our students, the well-being of our staff, and the strength of our community is both inspiring and essential.

Teachers transferring from other districts to Tangipahoa will have their numbers of years teaching credited to them on the salary schedule.

New teachers in TANGI with no teaching experience start at $47,300 plus the $15,000 recruitment stipend.
