Innis High School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Innis High School was a high school located in the town of Innis, Louisiana at 6450 Louisiana Highway 1. The school, originally called Innis Consolidated School, was established in 1906 on three acres of land donated by the Innis family. It received accredation in 1928. In 1969, the all white Innis High was partnered with Batchelor High School as part of a racial integration plan in Pointe Coupee Parish. As part of this partnership, students were bused back and forth between the two campuses to participate in different courses.^[1] In 1980, this partnership ended with Innis High becoming an elementary school and Batchelor High being renamed Upper Pointe Coupee High School. The elementary school is now closed down, with the school buildings currently being used as a sub-station for the Pointe Coupee Parish Sheriff's Office.
