The Caddo Parish School District Has Participated In Registration Day Program For The Past 5 Years. 50 Percent Of Caddo Seniors Registered To Vote Last Year While The National Average Is Only 10 Percent.

Robert Jackson, Director
Voter Registration Is The Gateway To Better Civic Participation. It Is Not Just About Registering And Supporting A Candidate, Its Not About That At All, It Is Really About Being Involved In Your Community. And This Is One Of The Things We Believe That Get People Involved.

Caddo Magnet Students Say They Are Not Registering Because Their Parents Told Them To, But Instead Because They Want To Have A Voice In The Election.

Kenisha Wooten, Student
We Care, We Care. A Lot Of People Have Made Their Decision On Who They Are Going To Vote For; And I Know Who I'm Going To Vote For And It Is Just For The Right Reasons, It Is For America To Change.

The Slogan For Registration Day Is Today We Study History And Tomorrow We Make It. Jackson Says He Knows That The Students In Caddo Will Make A Difference
