Denham Springs Elem. opens new school after 2016 flood destroyed old one
BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Livingston Parish Schools are going back to class on Monday, Jan. 10, for the first time this semester.
One group is adjusting to the COVID protocols while getting used to a new building.
Students and staff who attend Denham Springs Elementary School are now in a new two-story building after losing the old one during the 2016 flood.
The newly constructed 80,000 square-foot, two-story campus is located on N. Range Avenue in Denham Springs.
School leaders say classrooms will have dry erase walls, modular seating, natural light, a large cafeteria, a dedicated pre-kindergarten area, and a dedicated STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) lab.
Superintendent Joe Murphy said the district will continue its safety protocols, including the optional mask policy.
