St. Mary’s Catholic School recognized fifth grader Wyatt Clark, eighth grader Heath Methvin and senior John Paul Thibodaux as its 2026–2027 Students of the Year following All School Mass on Wednesday, November 11.

The Student of the Year Awards Program honors outstanding students who demonstrate excellence in leadership, citizenship and academic achievement. Selection considers academic performance, attendance, oral and written communication skills, participation in extracurricular activities, and involvement in school, church and community life.

Clark, Methvin and Thibodaux exemplify these qualities through their achievements and contributions to the St. Mary’s community. They will represent the school in competition with students from the Diocese of Alexandria and Catholic schools across Louisiana.

St. Mary’s congratulates these students on this honor and looks forward to supporting them as they advance in the Student of the Year Awards Program.
