Loreauville High School (LHS) is a public high school located in Loreauville, Louisiana, United States, at 410 North Main Street. [4] It is a part of Iberia Parish Public Schools. [3] It is a public high school.
During the Civil Rights Movement, LHS experienced a significant event in 1969 when it became fully integrated. African American students gained equal access to education alongside their white peers. The area near LHS was home to one of the first museums dedicated to the history of the Acadians and Cajun culture. This museum, known as The Heritage Village, stood on Main Street. One of five public High Schools in Iberia Parish Louisiana. The school continues to serve local students from 7th Grade through 12th grade. This masonry and wood facility was constructed in the early 1940s. The main building has been renovated, expanded, and modernized over the years to accommodate a growing student population. The main building in the 1940s housed all of Loreauville's student population, and as the village grew in population, additional facilities were added. The original central building may be the oldest school facility in continuous use in Iberia Parish. For many years, one of the first museums in Southern Louisiana dedicated to the history of the Acadians and the Cajun culture was on Main Street near the present-day Loreauville High School. The museum was privately owned and funded by a local resident well versed in the history and culture of the Acadians. The Museum site was located behind a private home West of School Drive and North of the existing Loreauville High School Gymnasium. The Museum area was largely an outdoors facility in a large horseshoe shape with the apex of the horseshoe near Bayou Teche. The Museum was in operation from approximately 1970 until the early 1980s. Several period buildings were donated to the museum from local residents and moved to the site, including the original one room schoolhouse that was used in Loreauville between 1900 and 1925. Other displays in the museum celebrated local Cajun culture with displays of period clothing, housewares, and early historic relics from the 19th century. A small collection of the artifacts from the Loreauville Museum were donated to the Acadian Village upon the closure of the Loreauville Museum. [ citation needed ]
