History
Originally founded in 1924 in the parish seat of Hahnville, Louisiana, the school moved to its present location at Boutte, Louisiana in 1976. Hahnville High School has maintained its accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools every year since 1948. Most recently, Hahnville, as part of the St. Charles Parish Public School System, received its accreditation as part of a district which is one of only four districts in the country to date to receive district accreditation.[3] Beginning in 2005, students in grades 11 and 12 from both Hahnville and Destrehan have had the option to attend the Satellite Center for half of the school day. The goal is for students to concentrate on career paths that are projected to expand the most over the next decade. Courses at the Satellite Center include: Advanced Television Broadcasting, Digital Media, Engineering Design, Interactive Media, Process Technology (PTEC), Health Care Exploration, Patient Care, Hotel-Restaurant and Tourism (HRT) Administration, Culinary Arts, and Students Teaching And Reaching (STAR).[4]
