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]
