Heather Plache, Assistant Principal

Ms. Heather Plache

I am truly grateful for the opportunity to return to R.J. Elementary as your Assistant Principal! I am so excited to team up with you and watch our students grow, learn, and succeed.

My roots in St. Charles Parish run deep. I am a lifelong resident and a graduate of Destrehan High, though all three of my children proudly graduated from Hahnville High. Throughout my 27-year career in our parish schools, I have loved every step of my journey as an elementary teacher, a literacy specialist, and an assistant principal.

I firmly believe that a strong partnership between home and school is the foundation of student success. Alongside our dedicated staff, I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment where every student can reach their fullest potential. My door is always open, and I look forward to an amazing school year together!
