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.
