In September 2005 Hurricane Rita struck Cameron Parish. 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]
As a result of the September 2008 Hurricane Ike, 80% of the Johnson Bayou campus received damage. The district was to try to get the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to fund a replacement school instead of a repaired campus.[8]
