context_page_description: Destrehan High School is a public high school located in Destrehan, Louisiana. The St. Charles Parish Public School System school serves all students on the East bank of the Mississippi River in grades 9 through 12.
  It serves the communities of Destrehan, Montz, New Sarpy, Norco, and St. Rose.
context_section_description: To accommodate for larger student bodies, the school has had numerous building additions and wing expansions.
  The Mathematics Building (known today as "Building D") was completed in 1993. It is a one-story, t-shaped building with a total of 14 classrooms. It also added a new textbook storage room when it was built. Originally intended as a mathematics building, it now houses most sophomore core classes and some senior core classes. One of the classrooms has been converted to a staff lounge. The building is located (if facing from the main entrance) right of the softball field, left of the main building, in front of the JROTC building, and behind the Gym Building ("Building C").
  The JROTC Building (known today as "Building G") was completed in 1996. It was originally a two classroom building with two one-person restrooms. In 2014, the building was expanded adding two more one-person restrooms, a new office and a new drumline room. After removing the portable classrooms that Building L replaced, students in ROTC have access to a large yard space for practice. If facing the front, the building is located directly left of the shop buildings, right of the back field behind the "D" building and in front of the tennis court.
  The Humanities Building (known today as "Building B") was completed in 2001. It was the first two-story (and first multi-story) building on campus. The building added roughly 25 new classrooms. Today it houses most core courses (math, science, social studies/history, and English) for freshmen (on floor 1) and juniors (on floor 2). It also houses many senior courses and some sophomore courses. The building has four stairwells, all of which are outside of the building. The entrance to the building is a breezeway with two stairwells that lead to the second floor and two doorways that lead to the first floor. Above the breezeway opposite to the stairs is a large staff lounge. The building is directly left of the main building, directly right of the football field, directly in front of the Gym Building ("Building C"), and facing the front of the school.
  The newest building (known as "Building L" was completed in 2014. The building allowed for the elimination of all portable classrooms on campus increasing yard space and improving school safety. It is the second two-story (and multi-story) building on campus. It added 17 new regular-sized classrooms, 3 new arts classrooms, a new drama room, a new band room and a new choir room (for a total of 23 new classrooms). It also added two more offices and an additional staff lounge. The first floor houses computer classes, all arts classes, speech classes, sports medicine, and drama. The second floor houses foreign languages, choir, and academically-gifted courses. The band room is a two-story classroom with a large amount of floor space on the first floor and many practice rooms on the second floor. Between the band room and corridors, there is a large lobby with display cases.
  Each hallway is also complete with accent lighting, televisions, and display cases that connect directly from the arts classrooms. Originally, there were plans to place music and drama on a third floor, but due to a strict time limit, the idea was scrapped and band/choir/drama were placed on floors 1 and 2. The building is directly right of the main building and faces the front of the school.
