Meet the Director

Hello, and welcome! My name is Jeri Hughes and I am the current director of the Zachary, La Chapter.

Being in my third year of Catholic Schoolhouse and my fourth-year homeschooling, I never imagined I would be the director of such a beautifully thriving and growing program, but when God knocks, you answer!

I spent the past two years driving to what was the Pierre Part, La chapter only to feel the pull and need for something closer to home and we landed in Zachary, La. With a very supportive priest and a campus big enough to house us, we are currently meeting at St. John the Baptist in Zachary, La.

I originally fell in love with the Classical approach in my first year of Catholic Schoolhouse. I had no idea what a blessing it would be to our family. I am a wife and mother of four learners, ages 4-11, with varying learning styles. With the beauty of the classical approach, I am able to cater to their varying learning styles while all sitting around the same table at the same time, what a blessing! We use Catholic Schoolhouse as our spine while also using other curriculum in only Math and ELA. The beauty of Catholic Schoolhouse is you can use it to the way that suits your family and that is what I love most about it as I know over time and as needs change, we will use it in varying ways over the years.

My goal as a new director is to grow and support the growth of not only our chapter but our families. Please see the About Us section to learn more about our chapter.
