Sicily Island Schools, Part 3

From Sicily Island:  A Partial History, compiled by Mickie Smith:

In 1927, Maitland, Foules and Bayou Louis communities were consolidated with Sicily Island.  On April 1, 1930, the consolidated School District No. 2, including Wards One and Two, was created.  A bond issue of $75,000 was passed on June 30, 1930 for a new building.  The present high school building was completed in 1931, in time for graduation ceremonies to be held in it.  The three story building was converted into an elementary classroom building. (Material compiled by Debbie Guice Longman for Catahoula News Booster, Bicentennial Issue, 1976)

Editor's Note:  In the late 1960s, the three-story school building was torn down and replaced with a one-story elementary school building.  Sicily Island Schools, Part 1 and Sicily Island Schools, Part 2
