McMain High School

Oh McMain, how I love thee… The school of my Junior High School & High School years.
Affectionately called the Birthday Cake School because of the look of tiers & the colors.
The school faces the corner Nashville & Claiborne, St Joseph & Claiborne; across the street from Ursuline Academy & down the way from Alcee Fortier currently Lusher.
At the time of my attendance, this school was 2^nd in the district, only to 1^st in Louisiana, Benjamin Franklin High School. Unfortunately, post-​katrina, they no longer hold this distinction.
3 floors. Large 2 storied auditorium thats often utilized for non-​McMain School functions. Spacious classrooms. Moderate cafeteria area for the student body.
3 stars because the condition of the building post-​katrina. I’ve heard of negative events & press as it relates to McMain; it saddens my heart to see a once GREAT school allowed to be run in the ground for lack of concern by the powers that be.
