The school was established in the late 19th century or early 20th century at the site that is currently Thibodaux Elementary School. Later it moved a block away to the current site of East Thibodaux Middle School. In 1967, the student body was moved to the current location at the corner of Talbot Ave. and Tiger Dr. In 2002, 9th grade students were added to the campus.
The school day lasts from 7:27am to 2:25pm and consists of seven 53-minute periods.
Our school-wide plans for professional growth this school year include a greater focus on literacy across the curriculum including implementing additional literacy strategies as indicated in our state comprehensive curriculum.
