Chalmette High School is a pretty good public school compared to others in Southeast Louisiana. I had a pretty good four years here. I was involved in tennis, key club, beta Club, 4-H, and many other extracurriculars. The teachers here are very nice and knowledgable.

My 4 years at Chalmette high school has taught me a lot and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I met a lot of people who taught me about myself. Over the past four years I have changed tremendously and things I thought were important are no longer apart of me.

Chalmette High School! It's an amazing school that was and is still given a tremendous amount of money each year. They decorate it really nicely and the building looks great. Yet, that's the thing the school and principles are worried about looks. If I'm not mistaken you send your children to school...
