History
The Avoyelles Public Charter School was founded as a Type 2 charter school open to any student in the state of Louisiana in 2000 by Julie Durand. It initially consisted of grades kindergarten through fifth, and one grade was added every year until 2008. In 2005, construction, funded through a loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development, began on the high school building, performing arts building and gymnasium but wasn’t completed until September of 2006, postponing the school year. In 2008, the senior class became the first graduating class of the school.
