St. John Berchmans Catholic School is excited to announce Mrs. Jennifer Deason as our new principal. Mrs. Deason began her career at SJB in 2012 as the school counselor, just one year after being named Middle School Counselor of the Year for the state of Louisiana. While a certified teacher (1-8) and school counselor (K-12), Mrs. Deason went on to obtain her Educational Leadership I certification and be named assistant principal, where she has worked seamlessly with Mrs. Cazes the past five years. She also holds a dual certification as a National Certified Counselor and National Certified School Counselor. Mrs. Deason is currently on track to receive her doctorate degree in Educational Leadership and is in the dissertation phase of her program. We are grateful for Mrs. Deason's passionate commitment to excellence in education. She generates a positive Catholic culture and environment in the school which supports SJB's mission statement. Mrs. Deason leads with kindness, patience and an optimistic outlook. She is truly an invaluable asset to SJB!
