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.[2]
Facility
The school has three wings, one for lower elementary (Pre-K and head start through 4th grade), upper elementary (grades 5-8), and high school (9-12).[2]
Notable alumni
- James David Cain (Class of 1956), former member of both houses of the Louisiana State Legislature
gollark: You know, there was something like a 1/5 chance of heavpoot succeeding in his roll to destroy the sun, I think.
gollark: But, canonically, you could have an "electric car" powered by a magic field generator and some electricity.
gollark: And generators are basically the same principle as electric motors.
gollark: But electric motors are already something like 80% efficient; does magic just ignore conservation law?
gollark: LyricLy, HOW would they have diesel generators and not motors?!
