Central Lafourche High School (CLHS) is a public high school serving students in grades 9 through 12 in Mathews, unincorporated Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, United States,[3] about 45miles southwest of New Orleans. The school, which has a Raceland postal address,[4] is one of three high schools in the Lafourche Parish Public Schools district.[5]
It serves the communities of:[6] Mathews,[3] Raceland,[7] Lockport,[8] Lockport Heights,[9] and Gheens as well as the Lafourche Parish section of Des Allemands.[10]
The school is a consolidation of the former Raceland High School and Lockport High School. It was established by the Lafourche Parish School Board in 1965[11] as a three-year, co-educational senior high school. It was built at a cost of almost $4,000,000. The school became a reality with the 1966-1967 school session. Until the building was completed, the school was housed in temporary facilities on the campus of the former Lockport High School. The ninth grade and Pre G.E.D./Skills Option Programs were added to the Central Lafourche Curriculum in the 2001-2002 school year.
In 1968 the high school for black students, C.M. Washington High School, was dissolved due to racial integration.[12] Therefore black students now attended the previously all-white school.
Between 2015 and 2016, according to the Louisiana State Department of Education rankings, this school's rank increased from a "B" to an "A".[13]
