Committees formed to build new St. Louis campus, repurpose existing campus The Board of Pastors of the Diocese of Lake Charles announced the formation of two committees: one to oversee the establishment of a new campus for St. Louis Catholic High School, and another to determine the future use of the present St. Louis campus. Robert Piper was named chair of the Future Campus Committee, which will direct the planning and construction of the new St. Louis campus on a 37-acre site on Corbina Road in southeast Lake Charles. Gus Schram III will chair the Landry–St. Louis Property Repurposing Committee, which will study and recommend future development and use of the present school campus on Bank Street. St. Louis Catholic High School sustained severe hurricane damage in 2020, and the school is now operating in temporary modular buildings. After considering various options, the school’s Board of Pastors decided to rebuild the school on the Corbina Road site and repurpose the Bank Street property.
