Congratulations to Wildwood Elementary School`s Alexandra Horner, who has been honored as the 2024-25 English as a Second Language Teacher of the Year by the Louisiana Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages.
"It`s a culmination of so much joyous work," said Horner, who has been in education for 22 years, including 13 at Wildwood. "Everything that goes into loving a child and nurturing a child is magnified when you have a child that is vulnerable and speaks another language. ...My kids are so humble. They`re so hardworking, and they deserve nothing less than a teacher who will dig deep herself and love them and advocate for them."
Horner is one of the key reasons Wildwood had the highest ESL subgroup School Performance Score (80 B) in EBR Schools and was one of the few schools with a B SPS in the state. The school has shown consistent growth for the past three years.
With a large population of English Learners, the school had 22% become proficient (on the English Language Proficiency Test) along with a great number of students on trajectory.

After months of dedicated training and practice, thousands of EBR Schools students will begin the all-important English Language Proficiency Test on Monday. The ELPT is designed for all English language learners and assesses their progress and proficiency in the language. Students in kindergarten to 12th grade will be evaluated on four key domains: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The testing period continues through March 19. We wish all our students the very best as they demonstrate their hard work and dedication.
