Principal's Message

Kelli Oertling - Principal

Headshot of Kelli Oertling

It is an honor to serve as the principal of Luling Elementary School and to partner with our students, families, faculty, staff, and community. With 26 years of experience serving students and families in St. Charles Parish Public Schools, I am honored to continue that journey as principal of Luling Elementary.

At Luling Elementary, we are committed to creating a welcoming environment where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to succeed. Our school is grounded in three simple but powerful words: Believe. Belong. Achieve. We believe in every child's ability to succeed, we foster a culture where everyone feels they belong, and we challenge one another to achieve more each day. These words reflect who we are and guide the way we learn, lead, and grow together.

Our motto, “Expect More ... Achieve More,” reminds us that high expectations, meaningful relationships, and a commitment to continuous growth create opportunities for every student to thrive. By working together as partners in education, we will ensure that every child is challenged, encouraged, and celebrated along the way.

Thank you for being part of the Luling Elementary family. I look forward to partnering with you as together we help every child believe in themselves, know they belong, and achieve their very best.
