Connecting Life and Learning
At Axiall, we demonstrate our true commitment to progress with a real commitment to education, investing both time and money in a wide variety of educational programs that support and benefit teachers and students throughout Southwest Louisiana. MCNEESE NATURELAB
We created this 600 acre “Classroom in the Woods,” which is now operated by McNeese State University. The McNeese NatureLab provides a unique educational experience enjoyed by students, teachers and various clubs and organizations in Southwest Louisiana. With more than 10,000 feet of trails, the facility provides the opportunity for the community to learn about natural wildlife and plants, ecology, conservation, species diversity and much more. Since 1998, the facility has hosted thousands of students, and serves as a living, thriving example of our environmental commitment. The McNeese NatureLab has been awarded Corporate Lands for Learning Recertification from the International Wildlife Habitat Council for its contributions to wildlife habitat, environmental stewardship, native biodiversity promotion and environmental education. PARTNERS IN EDUCATION
Axiall is a proud participant in Partners in Education, providing mentoring and educational resources to six area schools: • LaGrange High School • Sam Houston High School • Vinton High School • St. Theodore Holy Family • Our Lady Queen of Heaven • Vinton Elementary TEACHER’S INSTITUTE
The Teacher’s Institute provides area educators the opportunity to learn about the internal operations of a large chemicals facility and to illustrate how does its part to protect our environment. Activities include plant tours, one-on-one sessions with plant workers, fire training, team building techniques, lectures and total quality management techniques, which ultimately are credited to the teachers’ certification.
CAREER DAY
This event is held twice annually to provide high school students the opportunity to learn about careers such as environmental engineering, operations, industrial nursing, accounting, and human resources. The students are given plant tours and are matched with representatives who work with them during the day so they can experience a “typical work day” in that field. REACH
The goal of REACH (Reaching Educational and Cultural Heights) is to make a difference in young peoples’ lives by being a positive influence through mentorship, providing guidance and educational awareness. This employee volunteer group is involved in tutoring, coaching and numerous other activities that benefit youth.
STATE TROOPER SKILLS FOR LIFE CAMP
State Police Troop D sponsors this camp annually, allowing over 40 campers from local area middle schools to learn about boating safety, team building, seatbelt safety, land navigation, first aid, CPR, fire safety and many facets of the Louisiana State Police. These students also learn about the environment and our natural habitats during this one-week period.
AXIALL PARTNERS
This employee volunteer program contributes thousands of volunteer hours each year in support of community activities and fundraisers including Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Special Olympics, and many others.

Early detection is a powerful tool in the fight against breast cancer. 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Mammograms can find suspicious lumps even before they can be felt, and if diagnosed early, a woman with a cancerous lump has a much better chance of surviving breast cancer.
Have you scheduled 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 your mammogram? The American Cancer Society recommends an annual mammogram for women over the age of 40.
