Condition of Physical Building
BRMHS has had problems with building damage from moisture, and the school system is struggling with funding as well as the mechanics of how to continue education while undergoing a major renovation. The district is planning the details of a major reconstruction project. Various articles in Baton Rouge print media have highlighted the various physical problems on the Baton Rouge High campus. The Baton Rouge High Alumni Association also has documented deteriorating conditions at the school.
A large renovation and reconstruction project by the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board commenced in August 2010 that will completely transform the campus. The project is expected to last approximately two years and will consist of a complete renovation of the landmark school structure, and a demolition and reconstruction of the remaining structures. During the project, all students and staff have relocated to the previously shuttered Lee High School and will stay there until the fall of 2012.
