St. Bernard Parish Public Schools company history timeline

1926

The history of Chalmette High School began in 1926 with the addition of a freshman class to Meraux Elementary School.

Prior to 1926, any student wanting a high school diploma had to transfer to an Orleans Parish Public School.

1954

In 1954, Arabi High School changed its name to Chalmette Senior High School as it moved to the site of the current Chalmette Elementary School.

1962

A new facility was constructed further "down the road" at the corner of (then Goodchildren) Judge Perez and Palmisano, and Chalmette Senior High moved there in 1962.

1970

In 1970, the Owls joined the New Orleans Catholic League, in the LHSAA's new class 4A. Though the Owls never won it in football, they were more than a match for their district foes, and this time period is remembered by many as the heyday of the school.

1974

In 1974, a Chalmette student let loose a canister of teargas under the football stadium during the rivalry game with Holy Cross.

1978

In 1978, they played eventual state champion St Augustine for a share of the Catholic League championship, and lost 20–19 in front of a still school-record crowd of 14,000 on their campus.

1988

Chalmette left the Catholic League football district after the 1988 season.

1989

That and the decision to go back to co-ed status in 1989 brought about a mild decline in the school.

2005

The St Bernard Parish school board opened a school in trailers set up in the stadium parking lot in November 2005 and welcomed 334 students from kindergarten to 12th grade on its first day.

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina changed everything.

2007

As St Bernard Parish started to repopulate, Chalmette High School joined LHSAA class 5A for the first time in its history for the 2007 football season, and rejoined the Catholic League.

2012

Chalmette High hit an important milestone in 2012, as they received an "A" rating from the state of Louisiana for their school performance score.

2015

In 2015, a new school library, and administrative offices were completed.

2020

In 2020, Chalmette High School's enrollment crossed the 2,000 mark.
