I'd think a school in Natchitoches would be a front runner, assuming continuity, of the school given it's the oldest/1st settlement in LA.

I had no idea so many were so old. Consolidation closed a lot of really old schools, I see many many have survived. Had no idea Ursuline was THAT old though. I remember we beat them in 1995 for the girls state title in 4A at the Rapides Coliseum.

When did Ursuline start really being a “high school”
Curious because I really don’t know. When did high schools as we think of them today come about? Did schools 150 years ago actually go to grade 12?

Yeah that was what I was getting at. I wasn’t shitting on Ursuline. I guess all their knights here were thinking I was given how the downvotes rained down.
I was genuinely curious if that really was the first HIGH school in the state. I acknowledge that it’s the first school.

Yeah, I agree.
I can’t imagine high schools were common in the 1800s, if in fact they existed at all, when considering the type of economy that existed back then.

Great school and allows me to drop by Elios on regular rotation.

Right. I know Peabody only went 1-7 until 1918 because black schools weren't allowed to teach upper grades. We were Peabody Training School at that time. We didn't join Rapides Parish School Board and the state until I believe 1933 becoming Peabody High School.
