School Principal

Welcome to Southeastern Laboratory School. Our goal is to help develop students who  care for others and are creative in their work and encouraging to all. Our students, staff, and families work together to create an environment of high achieving academic success.

The Lab School is a PreK-8th grade school of choice with approximately 260 students. Our students are from very diverse backgrounds with cultures from around the world being represented.

Being a part of Southeastern Louisiana University and Tangipahoa School System makes us a very unique school. Our school is here to help the Teach Education Program by modeling best teaching practices for their students as well as having a place for their students to gain practicum hours and resident teaching experience.

On behalf of our faculty and staff, welcome to another year of committed excellence to academic, social, and emotional growth of our students.

Mr. Labbe' earned both his undergraduate degree in education and his Masters in Educational Leadership from Southeastern.  He is currently working on his doctoral degree at SLU.

His teaching career began at Fountainbleau High School and then his Alma Mater, Hammond High, teaching and coaching baseball at both schools. After leaving Hammond High, he became Hammond Eastside's assistant principal and later the school's principal.  He has been at the Lab School for four years and loves having fun with our students and watching them grow into young adults.

This is the beginning of his 21st year as an educator.
