In honor of World Teachers' Day, Tiger Stadium stood up for teachers: current, former and future. The 2027 Louisiana Teachers and Principals of the Year were honored on the field in Death Valley to celebrate the educators whose work shapes the future of Louisiana. We celebrate every educator who makes a difference in the lives of their students and those preparing to join the profession.
