Pitkin High School
Pitkin High School (PHS) is a PK-12 school in the Pitkin community, an unincorporated area of Vernon Parish, Louisiana. It is controlled by the Vernon Parish School Board.
History
Prior to the establishment of the school, several one and two room schoolhouses in the area educated children. They were later combined into a school called Compromise. Pitkin High was first established as a brick building facility in 1915, and it was approved as a high school on August 23, 1915. The current school building opened in 1969 and since then received renovations and additions.[1]
