African American High Schools in Louisiana Before 1970

Scottville High School, Belle Chasse, Louisiana, Plaquemines Parish     “The Pearl of the Gulf Coast”  Scottville High School was confronted with an inclement political climate and adverse social pressure in fulfillment of its destiny. Like a pearl emerging from captivity in an oyster, Scottville High School became a jewel of hope to the local communities. Finally, in 1971 its role changed with the times and there is a glimmer of  its existence today. We salute the Scottville Apaches. The tribe remembers.
