Former TV anchor named Caddo Parish Schools Director of Communications and Marketing

Caddo Parish Schools announced its new Director of Communications and Marketing Monday morning.

Marquel Sennet, former Communications Director for the City of Shreveport, will be the new Director of Communications and Marketing for Caddo Parish Schools.

“Caddo is excited to bring Marquel on board,” said Dr. T. Lamar Goree, Superintendent of Caddo Schools. “She has such a wealth of experiences in both education and journalism. She will do an incredible job of elevating the stories of our schools as we seek to tell the Caddo story.”

She's also been a TV news reporter and anchor for 13 years in Shreveport and Beaumont, Texas. During her time as a journalist, she extensively covered northwest Louisiana education while also covering statewide and national stories.

Sennet’s new role brings her full circle. She will be working to highlight the work of one of the state’s largest school systems.

“I am honored to join Caddo Schools and to showcase the students and employees of this great system, Sennet said. “Since I came to Shreveport, one of my greatest joys has been to visit schools and tell their stories and this role allows me only do more of that while informing our community of all that sets Caddo apart.”
