SHREVEPORT, La. -- Louisiana principal Marco French wakes up every morning before the crack of dawn to greet every single student that walks into Queensborough Elementary.

Known as 'Chancellor French by his students and fellow educators, Marco has had an impactful and life-changing effect for many of his students and on his school.

"Before I stepped foot in these doors, this school was not so welcoming, the standards were not there let's put it like that," says Marco as he walks through the hallways. "But now when you walk in, the atmosphere is contagious of love, excitement, music It instantly puts a smile on your face," he notes.

"When I look at the impact Marco has had in his community, he is an amazing principal," says Dr. Lamar Goree, the Superintendent of Caddo Parish Public Schools.
