This may be in the works to get me the hell out of this awful state of Virginia. If I worked out of Ponchatoula, where would be the best area within 30-50 milesof it to raise two boys and what high school has the best athletics in that area?

Ponchatoula just had an undefeated regular season and lost to eventual state champ Acadiana in the playoffs.

I work in Ponchatoula and live in Prairieville, it's about a 50 minute drive each way.

Move to Mandeville or Covington. St. Tammany Parish schools are great. The private schools are better. You can't go wrong in the Mandeville/Covington area. Madisonville is a good way to go if you want to buy a few acres of property as well.

I've got a five year old house for sale on the Tangipahoa/ St Tammany line. Email me if interested.

I need to be out of it by July 1 when my new one is ready.

I'm from the better side of the Ouachita River and can help with your questions about being from the Mecca and adapting in these parts.

Ponchatoula is about as good a place as you can be. There sports teams are doing great. The girls basketball team just won the State title and the boys football team just had an undefeated regular season. The schools are fine.

Plenty of good area to live along the Northshore all the to Denham. I would avoid the Hammond public schools. Ponchy public schools are good. Why commute when everything is here. I couldn't say this in the past put currently Ponchatoula High has the best athletics in this area. Anything you want to know or need to find out let me know. Will help all I can ponchytiger@yahoo.com

There are also a couple of really nice private school options. Holy Ghost in Hammond for kindergarten-8th or St. Joseph in Ponchatoula for Kindegarden- 8th. St. Thomas in Hammond is a good academic school with competitive athletics in 2A. Ponchatoula public schools are probably not what they used to be, but they are pretty good schools. The city of Ponchatoula has a great small town feel to it and I enjoyed growing up here very much.

St. Thomas Aquinas is your best bet for high school. Years ago Ponchy high would have been a good choice, but not anymore. Tuition is pricey, but it is a solid education and the sports are good for a 2a school. I have a 14 year old there so I'm speaking from experience.

Surprisingly, Springfield is a great education by Louisiana standards and a decent town to live in if in the right neighborhood.
