Iberville High School History
A historic drawing from Iberville High School’s 1962 yearbook matches the buildings that still remain on the school’s campus. Iberville High School originally opened in 1935, and was in operation until 1969, when it closed due to integration. The school reopened as Iberville Elementary School, a PreK-6 Montessori School. Some of the original buildings remain, but some were demolished. New buildings, visible with the white roofs in the aerial view, were built on the campus between August 2009 and October 2010.
