PHOTO: The Iberville Parish School Board has joined forces with the Plaquemine Fire Department to offer a new career training path for high school seniors starting next school year. The Jump Start program offers high school training for students in a variety of career paths. This addition will make Iberville among the first firefighter training programs in high schools in Louisiana. Students in the program will earn all of the certifications needed to start work as a firefighter immediately upon graduation. Fire Chief Darren Ramirez led the effort to get the program running with Robert Primus, Supervisor of Instructional Technology and CTE. "Chief Ramirez and Anthony 'Tony' Seymour of the Plaquemine Fire Department have been at the forefront of partnering with our schools to educate future firefighters," Primus said.
