LAPLACE — Growing up in Concordia Parish, Xavier Bell thought his love of music would guide him toward a future as a band director. That was until his 4-H agent saw something within him that he didn’t see himself, paving the way for a new passion.
Bell became the new 4-H agent for St. John the Baptist Parish on June 1, 2022. He looks forward to building a community atmosphere around the organization and tailoring the program to help each individual child reach their full potential.
