South Lafourche High School


South Lafourche High School is a public secondary school in the Galliano census-designated place, an unincorporated area in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, United States. It has a Cut Off postal address.
A part of Lafourche Parish Public Schools, South Lafourche High currently serves the coastal towns and communities of: Larose, Cut Off, Galliano, and Golden Meadow. It is the result of the 1966 consolidation of the former Golden Meadow and Larose-Cut Off High Schools. As a result, both former high schools were designated junior high schools and, in 2002, middle schools. South Lafourche High School was founded in 1966.
Originally South Lafourche only provided 10th to 12th grade, but during the 2002-2003 school year the 9th grade was added and removed from the middle schools.

History

In 1968 the high school for black students, C.M. Washington High School, was dissolved due to racial integration. Therefore black students now attended the previously all-white school.
Between 2015 and 2016, according to the Louisiana State Department of Education rankings, this school's rank increased from a "B" to an "A".
