Senate Resolution No. 125, proposed by Senator Hewitt, serves to commend Willie B. Jeter for his extensive service to the St. Tammany Parish schools and the community. The resolution outlines a brief biography of Jeter, highlighting his dedication to education, community involvement, and leadership roles over the decades.
