New Orleans Center For Creative Arts - Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina

While the facilities experienced some wind and rain damage from Hurricane Katrina in 2005, NOCCA's location on the high ground of the Faubourg Marigny saved it from the flooding that other parts of New Orleans experienced (see Effect of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans). After Hurricane Katrina, several students were placed temporarily at the High School for Performing and Visual Arts in Houston, Texas, the Coronado School of the Arts in San Diego, California, and other arts schools for high school students around the country.
