Central Lafourche High School (CLHS) is a public high school serving students in grades 9 through 12 in Mathews, unincorporated Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, USA, about 45 miles southwest of New Orleans. The school, which has a Raceland postal address, is one of three high schools in the Lafourche Parish Public Schools district.
It serves the communities of Mathews, Raceland, Lockport, and Gheens as well as the Lafourche Parish section of Des Allemands.
The school is a consolidation of the former Raceland High School and Lockport High School, and it was established by the Lafourche Parish School Board in 1965, as a three-year, co-educational senior high school built at a cost of almost $4,000,000. The school became a reality with the 1966-1967 school session. Until the building was completed, the school was housed in temporary facilities on the campus of the former Lockport High School. The Ninth Grade and Pre G.E.D./Skills Option Programs were added to the Central Lafourche Curriculum in 2001-2002 school years.
Between 2015 and 2016, according to the Louisiana State Department of Education rankings, this school's rank increased from a "B" to an "A".
The school competes interscholastically in several sports, including:
Championships
The school offers several clubs for students.
