Negreet High School is a K-12 school in the unincorporated community of Negreet in Sabine Parish, Louisiana. It is a part of the Sabine Parish School Board.

History

In January 2014, the ACLU filed suit against the Sabine Parish School Board, Superintendent Sara Ebarb, Principal Gene Wright and teacher Rita Roark of Negreet High School, alleging officials at one of its schools harassed a sixth-grader because of his Buddhist faith and that the district routinely pushes Christian beliefs upon their students.[2][3][4][5] In March 2014, the U.S. District Court ruled against the school board.[6][7]
