Why One High School?
• Chalmette High School can sustain an enrollment of 1500 students.
• Chalmette High School 9th Grade Academy, Lacoste Campus can sustain an enrollment of 600 students.
• Chalmette High School is centrally located.
• Main Campus facilities include: full football stadium, baseball field, softball and soccer fields (Rebel Park), full gym, practice gym, technology center, including full-service TV studio, and two presentation areas.
• Lacoste Campus facilities include: a field house with LSHAA regulation swimming pool, additional gym, wrestling arena for dual meets, fitness center; Community Learning Center with a performance theater, immersive technology lab for engineering program, shared space for 9th grade and parish library, School-based Health Center, community meeting rooms, dance and music studios.
• Prior to Katrina, our three high schools housed 2100 students, and now this consolidation allows for a similar student capacity with all academic, cultural arts, and athletic programs housed in one central location.
• Duplication of efforts and duplication of expenditures will cease.
• If an additional high school would be needed in the future because of enrollment, both Andrew Jackson and St. Bernard High Schools would be refurbished and operational for necessary expansion.

Famous quotes containing the word high:
“I cannot remember things I once read
A few friends, but they are in cities.
Drinking cold snow-water from a tin cup
Looking down for miles
Through high still air.”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
