The Louisiana Legislature has introduced Senate Concurrent Resolution 15, a formal commendation celebrating the 100th graduating class of C.E. Byrd High School in Shreveport. The resolution, proposed by Senator Pressly, recognizes the school's centennial milestone, with festivities scheduled from June 5 to June 7, 2025, culminating in an "Ultimate Reunion" on June 7.

The resolution commends the faculty, staff, students, and alumni for their contributions to the school over the past century. It also mandates that a copy of the resolution be sent to the school's principal, Gerald "Jerry" Badgley, as a token of recognition.
