Louisiana is a magnificent and eclectic state, abounding with opportunity and bursting with pride over all that we have to offer. We love our food, our music and our culture – everything that truly makes Louisiana the unique place we are proud to call home. Unfortunately, our pride falls short when it comes to education. Ranked 48th in the nation, this glaring blight has been a part of our great state’s history for too long. It’s unacceptable, and enough is enough!
In 2019, Love Our Schools was formed when two organizations, Love Acadiana, a faith-based nonprofit, and the William C. Schumacher Family Foundation, partnered together to put love into action, to restore hope and to inspire change in our schools. Starting in Lafayette Parish, this partnership removed barriers that often derail efforts for change.
