Dutchtown High School (Louisiana)
Dutchtown High School is a 4-star school that was completed in 2002 in an unincorporated area of Ascension. It is within the Ascension Parish School Board. Both Dutchtown Middle School and Prairieville Middle School feed into Dutchtown High. The architecture is based on that of the old Dutchtown High, which is situated across the highway at the current Dutchtown Middle School. The school's major rivals are East Ascension High School and St. Amant High School.
The past four years (2007–2010) have produced the Ascension Parish Student of the Year: Sarah Laiche (2007–08), Jeff Boudreaux (2008–09), Caitlin Ballotta (2009–10), and Alex Mendoza (2010–11).
There are a variety of classes offered at Dutchtown, though everyone is encouraged to take the core 4: science, social studies, math, and English. The opportunity to earn TOPPS to get into an in-state university is also provided.
Past principals include Conrad Braud and David Alexander.

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:
“Leadership does not always wear the harness of compromise. Once and again one of those great influences which we call a Cause arises in the midst of a nation. Men of strenuous minds and high ideals come forward.... The attacks they sustain are more cruel than the collision of arms.... Friends desert and despise them.... They stand alone and oftentimes are made bitter by their isolation.... They are doing nothing less than defy public opinion, and shall they convert it by blows. Yes.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“But I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not mind at all. I do not belong to the sobbing school of negrohood who hold that nature somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal.... No, I do not weep at the world—I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1907–1960)
