That a second high school is part of the negotiations between the port people and the St Bernard school board.
The port wants to give the board $30 million and move Smith elementary, but the board doesn’t care about Smith elementary and wants $100 million to build a second high school (which I’m assuming is a major renovation of St Bernard High, all the facilities are there already)
It might happen soon because a lot of the school board is outgoing at the end of the year due to term limits

What would they do with St. Bernard Middle? Expand Trist? That’s a long way to go for those kids to go to school from down the road to Trist.
Unless they make St Bernard 6-12

St. Bernard middle would become the high school, maybe become 7-12 like other rural high schools and their elementary feeders would become K-6

Just think if they had done this port in the 50s or 60s..... NO MRGO.... st bernard would be a very different place....

That makes more sense than sending middle school kids all the way up to Trist.
<—- Pirate Alum, lol
I just texted a buddy who’s very much involved with St Bernard politics to see if he knows anything

Ok, this is what I was told.
The original plan was to build a new hs but the fighting scrapped those plans. The port is now going to build a brand new Smith elementary school and St Bernard will stay a middle school. None of this is final so things can change but this is where they currently are with the school board and port.

We are getting WAY off topic but…
Smith could shut down tomorrow and we could rezone the other elementary schools and have no problem at all. Smith is by far the smallest elementary school in the parish.
There’s a reason Smith kids go to Smith and not Davies or Gautier. I bet you can figure out that reason.
So I have often said, sell Smith, don’t rebuild it and use the money for something else such as an upgraded St Bernard Middle - High.
Trist is full. You can’t put more kids there.
The down the road gang desperately wants their own high school but they are going to have to accept something that is far different than Chalmette.
