Southdown High School

Southdown High School was a segregated school for black people in Houma, Louisiana. It was a part of Terrebonne Parish School District and was the only public black school in the parish.

It opened in 1946 as Houma Colored High School. In 1949 it became Southtown High School; in 1952 grades 6-12 began classes and in 1953 the first class graduated. Its name changed to Southdown High School when it moved into its final location, a St. Charles Street building. Its books originated from the then-white Terrebonne High School and South Terrebonne High School. Eventually it became a grade 9-12 school. In 1969 the school closed due to racial integration, and students moved to South Terrebonne High School and Terrebonne High School.
