Mayor Sullivan and the City Council awarded Oatis-Honora with the ceremonial key to the city during the Tuesday, October 8 meeting at City Hall.

The school's auditor informed her that the perfect audit was just the second one in the history of Ascension Parish Public High Schools.

Donaldsonville High School Principal Marvin Evans said Oatis-Honora worked her way into accounting from her original positions of paraprofessional and library clerk. In only her first full year in her position, she was able to achieve the perfect audit.

Evans added that the school's funds exceed $350,000.

"When it comes to managing money, that is not an easy task," Evans said.
