History
The school was founded circa 1908 at the site of what is now Thibodaux Elementary School.[6] One of its first principals was L. L. Broussard.[7][8] Later the school was moved a block away to the current site of Thibodaux Middle School. In 1967, the student body was moved to its current location at the corner of Talbot Avenue and Tiger Drive.[9]
In 1968, the high school for black students, C.M. Washington High School, was dissolved due to racial integration.[10] Therefore black students now attended the previously all-white school.
In 2002, ninth grade students were added to the campus.
