History

The history of Breaux Bridge High School dates back to 1905 when the first school opened at 348 West Bridge Street. Over the ensuing decades, the campus saw significant development. In 1913, the Red Building was constructed at the corner of Main and Martin Streets, facing City Park, at a cost of $20,000, as shown in a circa 1914 photograph. In 1922, the White Building was added for $85,000. These early structures served the community until the original Breaux Bridge High School was destroyed by fire in 1975. Prior to the fire, a new school was built three miles out in the country in 1972 and was dedicated on April 21, 1974. (Courtesy Kenneth P. Delcambre.) ^[3]
