The Louisiana School for Math, Science, and the Arts (LSMSA) in Natchitoches has named Peter Yu (‘25), a native of Choudrant in Lincoln Parish, as its 2024-2025 Student of the Year.
Regional honorees in each of the three categories—Elementary School Student of the Year, Middle/Junior High School Student of the Year, and High School Student of the Year—will advance in the selection process. Winners at the district, regional, and state level will be selected using such factors as the student’s por tfolio, writing samples, and interview results. Louisiana’s overall Students of the Year will be announced in Spring 2025.
“Peter is living the life of a true LSMSA student,” said Dr. Steve Horton, Executive Director and CEO of LSMSA. “His intellect, combined with his ability to try new things, has allowed him to take several ‘roads less traveled,’ which will give him a leading edge when he makes his final decision for where his higher education will lead him. He is a pleasure to know, and he’s one of those students who will always be remembered for his spirit and dedication.”
