This circa 1938 three-story building was formally the Ponchatoula High School facility. The growing community was in need of an expansion of its Junior High School. This need coupled with the desire to save the vintage structure played into a major renovation and addition project. The designers respected the original lines of the building and drew from the vocabulary of the period to redevelop this state of the facility.
