School history
In 2011, the parish school board faced a large financial deficit and considered a series of options.[1][2] Ultimately a plan for consolidation was adopted, in which schools in Sarepta, Cotton Valley, Shongaloo were consolidated into Springhill High School, and the high school was renamed North Webster High School.[3] The new mascot for the school became the "Knights," instead of the Lumberjacks.[4][5]
