Class of ‘77

My name is Mary Villery Gloston and I am a 1977 graduate of Opelousas Senior High.I am presently the Human Resources Director for the Louisiana State Department of Education. I've been employed with the State of Louisiana for 28.5 years and am proud to be on staff at this particular Department. My entire career has been in the Human Resources field and somehow seems to migrate to education-affiliated agencies. I started my career in human resources at Louisiana State University and was on staff for 12 years. This is where I gained much of my expertise with academic and school employee issues. My next 11 years in human resources was at the State Division of Administration under the administrations of Edwards, Roemer, and Foster. At the end of those 11 years, I was the Human Resources Functional Team Lead in the implementation of the SAP Human Resources/Payroll system. The expertise I gained over my 23 years in Human Resources contributed to the tasks in development, design and implementation of a payroll system for over 100,000 state employees. This was very exciting yet very intense. In 2002, I moved to the Department of Education as Assistant Human Resources Director thinking this was my career-ending move.

After two years with the LDOE, an opportunity became available for Human Resources Director of the Department of Culture, Recreation & Tourism, Office of the Lt. Governor. I was hired by Lt. Governor Mitch Landrieu and Secretary Angele Davis to lead the Human Resources functions for that agency. During this time, my greatest experience was learning to be creative and to "think outside the box" providing recommendations to an elected official.  

In 2007, my predecessor at the State Department of Education announced her retirement and I decided to return to the State Department of Education as the Human Resources Director because it is very exciting to know all that I do to support educators who are trying to make a difference with the children. I am honored and humbled to now be a part of the Pastorek team and look forward to exciting changes and accomplishments. I am also very proud to be the sister of one of your colleagues, Gwen Villery and am excited to see any accomplishments by Senior High staff.

I have been married for 27 years to Kenneth Gloston, OHS '75, and we have one son, Justin, who is a handbag designer with BCBG Max Azria in Los Angeles, California. Thanks for this opportunity. Mary V. Gloston

Class of ‘89

Larry J. Bernard, Jr. Class of 1989. Presently General Manager of SONIC Drive In.

 

I have been living in Central Pennsylvania for almost 9 years, but I have lived in Lafayette, Louisiana from 1994-99. I also have worked at the Target store on Johnston Street in Lafayette. I also worked as a telemarketer in Lafayette, but left that job after only a couple of months. I worked with my mother for two months last year, but was never called back to work. But my first job up here in Pennsylvania was at a driver's license place, but I worked there for only a few weeks. I have been trying to find other classmates on various websites. I am most interested in finding out whatever happened to Tanya Aymond, who also graduated from Opelousas High School.

Class of 1999

We had a large number of people interested in the reunion however, not as many were willing to send in the money required to have the reunion. As a result the 10 year class reunion for Opelousas Senior High School Class of 1999 has been CANCELLED. For the few people who did send money, we do appreciate your support in trying to make this event happen. Those who sent a special thanks to the committee for attempting to put this together we thank you for your acknowledgment. We wish you all have a very Blessed Christmas and New Year. Perhaps we will eventually have a reunion; until then take care. Vicky Joseph <tigerclassof99@yahoo.com>
