Also, at the end of each nine-week period, students participate in positive behavior celebration events.  “Thanks to Cheniere’s sponsorship of our school’s PBIS program, the students are more productive in their classrooms, act responsibly, and think proactively,” said Andria Monceaux, Johnson Bayou High School Interventionist and Elementary Lead Teacher.Cheniere employees present contribution to Johnson Bayou High School.
