CADDO PARISH, La. (KTAL/KMSS) — The Caddo Parish Public Schools have announced a new principal for Caddo Middle Career & Technology School (CMCTS)as the 2025-2026 school year approaches.

Caddo Parish Public Schools (CPPS) says that Dr. Staughton Jennings is bringing a wealth of experience to his new role as principal of CMCTS.
