A week after the School Board voted - for the second time - to close Comeaux High, LPSS is announcing a "Legacy Walk" event for the school community.
The vote followed a lawsuit and several emotional hearings during which that community pleaded with board members to save their school.
The "Legacy Walk" is planned for June 25 from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. at the school.
"The event will provide an opportunity for alumni and community members to walk the campus, reconnect, and recognize the lasting impact of Ovey Comeaux High School on generations of students and families," a release states. "For the safety of all attendees, Lafayette Parish School System’s clear bag policy will be in effect, and all guests will pass through the district’s weapons detection system upon entry, as required at all LPSS events."
