history
Mandeville High School has definitely been a centerpiece of the lives of many students in the western region of St. Tammany Parish for generations. The school has come a long way since it was first established, and one of the most unique things about the school is how much the Mandeville High attendance zone has changed. Given that is named after the city in which it is located, it is clear that the school served all of the Mandeville community at some point. However, communities grow, and it becomes hard for one high school to accommodate a rapidly growing area. The once small town of Madisonville was completely served by Covington High, but once Covington began to blossom into a larger community, Covington High needed to be relieved of rapid population growth in the school. This caused the Mandeville High attendance zone to expand all the way to the Tangipahoa Parish Line, and while this wasn't a big deal back then due to Madisonville's relatively small popualtion, Madisonville began to grow not long after, and so did the eastern Mandeville community. Once the population of Mandeville High School grew to a highly overcrowded status, the school board decided to fund a new high school. The pressing issue was where to place this new high school because of rapid growth on both the west side and the east side of the zone. Because growth was faster in the eastern area of Mandeville than it was in Madisonville at the time, the school board decided to place the new high school off of Highway 59 on the east side of Mandeville. A while later, the high school was named Fontainebleau High School, and once it opened in August of 1994, Mandeville High had an eased population at last. It wasn't but a few years later that Madisonville started to sprawl from a small town with few surrounding neighborhoods into one of the most overcrowded regions alone in St. Tammany Parish. The population in Madisonville schools skyrocketed, resulting in the construction of a new elementary school, which is now also becoming overcrowded. Now, Mandeville High is less than 50 students short of a 2,000 student population. It is unclear as to what the school board is going to do now if the population starts to become impossible to accommodate.

Self-Glorification
I noticed that not only did they falsify a good amount of their percentages and write the article in first-person perspective, but they take immense pride in one of their alumni, a MLB player. The school is grasping at straws to look good, and I'm certainly not proud to be an alumni of this school. In my personal opinion, the teachers were stuck-up and didn't care about the students, the facilities were poor and very cluttered, even for a public school, and the learning environment was overall very hostile, not to mention the graduates are so poorly-educated that many of them can hardly spell. Since this is a personal opinion, I will not deface the page itself, but I'm leaving this as a simply-put, well-made point. I certainly wouldn't want my children to go here. 149.149.54.73 (talk) 19:17, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
