AFRICAN AMERICAN SCHOOL BUILDING REVIVAL
Batchelor High School
Pointe Coupee Parish
When the Pointe Coupée Parish school system was integrated in 1969, Batchelor High School was partnered with the all-White Innis High School. With this partnership, students were bused back and forth between the two campuses to participate in different courses. In 1980, the partnership ended with Innis High becoming an elementary school and Batchelor High becoming Upper Pointe Coupée High. After the 1990-91 school year, the school closed as part of a plan to combine all parish public schools into the newly formed Pointe Coupée Central High School. The old building is now Upper Pointe Coupée Elementary School.
