Recently, the Rapides Parish School Board honored Mr. Wilton Barrios, a lifelong Ward 10 resident who has dedicated his career to serving his community.
Mr. Barrios graduated from Tioga High School, then returned to teach there from 1975 to 2002, touching generations of students’ lives. Since 2003, he’s represented School Board District A for 20 years, leading bond issues that have improved facilities and always putting teachers, staff, students, and his community first.
To honor Mr. Barrios’s contributions, RPSB announced that pending Rapides Parish School Board approval, the new Tioga High School Fieldhouse will bear his name when the project is completed. The Wilton Barrios Fieldhouse will stand as a fitting tribute to his exemplary service and ensure future generations know of his contributions and are inspired by his example.
RPSB thanks Mr. Barrios for his service and contributions.
