The Ellerbe school
was built in the mid to late 60's with the intention of being used as a
rural high school for students in the small towns south of Shreveport.
Before construction could be completed, the Caddo Parish School Board was
forced to close down several outlying and rural schools due to lack of
funds. Due to this, construction was halted and the land and
buildings were put up for sale. The school was never opened and in
time it became a hangout for young people looking for a place to cause
trouble, drink, smoke, or whatever.
Currently the land
and buildings are under private ownership, and the buildings themseves
are considered condemned and dangerous. |
