Thirteen hundred students are being trained at T. H. S. in academic. commercial. and vocational sub- jects. in music. and in athletics. Terrebonne High School has a faculty of forty-seven instructors. a guid- ance counselor. and two principals. Students participate in many extra-curricular activities and share in the privileges and responsibilities of good citizens in a junior democracy. Thus have fifty years of education in Terreboone helped build our community. Today. in 1958. 328 seniors are being graduated from Terrebonne High School. The imposing thirty- four classroom building completed in 1940 stands on a campus graced with live oaks. magnolias. shrubs. and camellias. It is dignified in ap- pearance. architecturally attractive. and designed to meet the needs of modern education. .-.. - -W...-w--.. -. -v-- .av-vvvv , , it ., ., - . - . tv.. -'.A - -- -. , 3, ,v Q' -'.4-'- rv , ' , . .4 ..

The acorn was the beginning of the oakg the old Fireman's Hall. the begin- ning of Terrebonne High School. Fifty years ago. in 1908, it was a combined elementary-high school from which was graduated one student. Miss .lennie Klingman. ln 1909 a new building was erected under the supervision of Super- intendent ,lohn M. Foote. On ,luly 7. 1908, bids were invited for the new building. A contract was subsequently awarded. said our late Superintendent H. L. Bourgeois. Hand when the building was completed. it was officially named the Terrebonne High School. This is at present the Houma Elementary School. From it in 1909 were graduated four students. ln 1918, Terrebonne High School. bresently the Houma Elementary School. rose upon the square where the Fireman's Hall had been. The present imposing structure on Highway 24. Tcrrcbonne High School. was completed in 1940. 1' aff?

This has brought to all students in the parish the many advantages of a large school and to the community an economical investment in education. It, has made for a spirit of solidarity in the people of the parish. said Mr. Bour- geois, and has converted Terrebonne Parish into one Community. Consolidation depends on transporta- tion. 1n 1908 and for years after, some pupils in the parish had to be trans- ported by boat because Terrebonne is bayou country. The tirst consolidations in the parish occurred in 1910-1911. The idea of riding to school appealed to children and patrons alike. In that year four transfers were placed in operation and an era of consolidation began. Today. in 1958, thirty-two transfers transport ap- proximately 1.000 children to and from school each day.
