Pitkin High School (PHS) is a PK-12 school in the Pitkin community, an unincorporated area of Vernon Parish, Louisiana, United States. It is controlled by the Vernon Parish School Board.
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[]
- (Class of 1956), former member of both houses of the Louisiana State Legislature
