History

The school was reopened in 2006 as the Boothville-Venice Elementary School. The only building for almost 40 miles that weathered the storm with minimal damage was the Boothville-Venice High School. According to the Baton Rouge Advocate, very little was left standing in either Boothville or Venice, the few buildings that survived had water up to the rooftops ([http://2theadvocate.com/stories/083005/new_cnbkat001.shtml]), and the area orange groves had also been submerged. Boothville-Venice is a census-designated place (CDP) in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana Parish, Louisiana, United States, which includes the unincorporated area communities of Boothville, Venice, Louisiana and Orchid. It was built after Hurricanes Betsy and Camille on concrete stilts 14 feet above ground to protect classrooms from storm surge, and it was designed with tall, narrow windows to lessen the risk of broken windows from flying debris.
