Four of the parish's six public schools were destroyed or damaged; students from three other schools (Cameron Elementary, South Cameron Elementary, and South Cameron High) occupied Grand Lake High School while students from Johnson Bayou occupied Hackberry High School's campus.[3][4]
Circa 2009 the district has its temporary headquarters at 1027 Highway 384 in the Grand Lake area.[5]

Students are required to wear school uniforms.[6][7]
