A Son’s Breakthrough Thanks to the Power of a Small SchoolFor Jane, Jesus the Good Shepherd School in Monroe, Louisiana, is more than just a place of work—it’s the heart of her family’s story. As a second-generation teacher at the school and a mother of three Arete scholars, Jane has seen firsthand how community, faith, and opportunity can shape a child’s future. When financial hardship struck her family, Arete scholarships opened the door for her sons to receive a high-quality education in a nurturing, faith-filled environment. Now, Jane watches with gratitude as her youngest son, Reagan, blossoms both academically and emotionally, right alongside his brothers and under the loving guidance of his grandmother, a longtime teacher at the school.
