History

Belaire was founded in 1974. The first principal of Belaire High School was Thomas Holliman. A group of students from all over the Baton Rouge community helped define the school colors (Burnt orange, Royal Blue, and White), and the school mascot. Today they are still known to be the "Belaire Bengals." The first school year started in August 1974 and "Bengal Land" was born. Through the course of the school year numerous events are held in honor of the Bengal and its Indian background. Events such as the Festival of Dwali or "Festival of lights," and school fixtures such as the Bengal Lancer Band, The Kannada Review (school newspaper), The Veda (school Yearbook) all are representative of the school's pride and heritage.
