Mayor Lee Posey presented a Hometown Hero Award to Jordan Rachel, an eighth grader at Natchitoches Magnet School. The presentation took place Oct. 4 during the school’s morning assembly. Jordan and his great grandparents, Don and Judy Montet, were driving on Interstate-49 toward Breaux Bridge for a Natchitoches Central game on Sept. 29 when Don experienced a heart attack. He collapsed on top of Judy, who was sitting in the front passenger seat. Jordan stayed calm despite being scared and took control of the situation. He jumped over the back seat and took hold of the wheel to steer them to safety. Magnet’s theme this year is Super Heroes and Principal Stephonie French told all the students at the assembly that they were lucky to have a real hero among them. Posey commended Jordan for his brave and selfless act.
