Together, the new John McDonogh staff lay out clear expectations for student behavior and daily attendance while working to create a safe environment for students as they foster school pride and unity. <br><br> Throughout the series, viewers will witness the daily challenges the staff face as their students struggle with a range of emotionally demanding obstacles including homelessness, violence, drug use, and teenage pregnancy.

Jambalaya with Chicken, Shrimp, and Andouille Sausage Recipe

Jambalaya is the Cajun version of paella or chicken with rice. This bayou favorite from the Deep South is a mainstay at church suppers, celebrations, and wakes for a good reason: jambalaya has amazing rejuvenating powers. Whether in a giant pot to feed a hundred or a skillet to feed two, hot rice mingled with spicy juicy tomatoes, vegetables, shrimp, sausage, and chicken is the meal that holds us all together. Cue the accordion...Jambalaya and a crawfish pie, and a file gumbo... son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.
