North Webster High School
North Webster High School is a co-educational secondary school on Church Street, in Springhill, Louisiana, United States. The catchment area consists of the neighboring areas: Cullen and Western Shongaloo.
School history
In 2011, the parish school board faced a large financial deficit and considered a series of options. Ultimately a plan for consolidation was adopted, in which schools in Sarepta, Cotton Valley, Shongaloo were consolidated into Springhill High School, and the high school was renamed North Webster High School. The new mascot for the school became the "Knights," instead of the Lumberjacks.
