Sandra Hill
Board member
I am honored to have been appointed to the Lycee Francais Board of Directors.
I served on a K-8 School District for 12 years in Lombard, a suburb of Chicago. I was publically elected 3 terms each 4 years, 11 of which the Board President. Those years taught me the many the facets of a global perspective of education. There was no term limit and I am sure that if we did not move to New Orleans, I might be serving still. I also served as a board member and then President for Youth Outlook, a non-for-profit in the Chicago area for 5 years. I also started my own non-profit, The Outreach House, 10+ years ago, providing services to low-income families with young children. My husband Richard, a Graphic Artist/Web Designer and daughter MacKenzie, Loyola Graduate, have lived New Orleans since 2013.
As a Community Social Worker, currently a Social Service Coordinator with Jefferson Parish Head Start, I feel strongly that early engagement of children and parents in school, produces positive outcomes for life. Being a resident of the Carrolton area, I am committed to the vision of Lycee and am dedicated to the rebuild of the Priestly School, for the children of New Orleans. Being familiar with the school district model, I am committed to the children in the Carrolton area to be able to also attend a neighborhood school of such high quality and standards of LFNO.
