Oh McMain, how I love thee... The school of my Junior High School & High School years…read more Affectionately called the Birthday Cake School because of the look of tiers & the colors. The school faces the corner Nashville & Claiborne, St Joseph & Claiborne; across the street from Ursuline Academy & down the way from Alcee Fortier currently Lusher. At the time of my attendance, this school was 2nd in the district, only to 1st in Louisiana, Benjamin Franklin High School. Unfortunately, post-katrina, they no longer hold this distinction. 3 floors. Large 2 storied auditorium thats often utilized for non-McMain School functions. Spacious classrooms. Moderate cafeteria area for the student body. 3 stars because the condition of the building post-katrina. I've heard of negative events & press as it relates to McMain; it saddens my heart to see a once GREAT school allowed to be run in the ground for lack of concern by the powers that be.

This is one of the schools where Barbie had a little stint, and as you can see she's doing pretty well right now. I enjoyed visiting her here at Tulane over the duo of years she was here, and though she didn't use the degrees as much as she was expected to, we both had a lot of good experiences with Tulane. In fact, Tulane and Auburn were the schools that I toured, of the southern ones anyway, when I was considering going to University in the South.

The first is the student clinic (http://www.lsusd.lsuhsc.edu/StuClinics.html) and services are discounted and the second is the faculty practice (http://www.lsusd.lsuhsc.edu/FacPrac.html) where you can have your teeth worked on by the experts. Even if you've never been here, if you've gone to a dentist in the state of Louisiana, chances are they were educated here. Currently this is the only dental school in the state...yeah I know Loyola used to have a Dental School but that ended in 1971. Here's your random fact about the location of these buildings: This space was used by the Department of Defense in WWII and so all the little roads on the campus used to be named Army, Navy, etc. The only one still being used today is Army Parkway. Google map it!

She sat down with my daughter for an hour, and reviewed with her Math and other subjects she was struggling with. After only one session, my daughter's grades went up to a C average at the end of the semester. She had Fs before. All of her individual class grades went up. I cannot recommend this company enough.

Katherine even wrote and brought her own notes that really helped Isabel comprehend the material her teacher was failing to teach. I highly recommend Katherine for chemistry or math, and I definitely recommend Learn After Class for any tutoring needs.

I attended Hahnville High from 1978 to 1981. It was horrible. On the first day of school in the…read moretenth grade, I could have walked away from the school and never been missed. The incompetent fools that ran the school would not let me register for classes until the first day of school. I had relocated to Louisiana, through no will of my own, from another state. Unless you are from the area, which I was not, you are an outcast. The football coach at the time thought only his jock football players could use the weight room. My parents paid the taxes for that messed up school just like the jock parents! Everyone should have had access to that weight room. A lot of bullying went on in the restrooms as well. Since I can never have my high school years back, I refuse to believe in God for having left me to rot in Louisiana during high school. I was so glad that I went to the University of Florida and got out of Louisiana when I finished.

The floor had a master control room, which monitored each room and controlled some of the very fancy and expensive human patient simulators. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/5D1ONlAmfFlbmdzRycKczg?select=tl5D53pO10fjTm9ibTaNBA I could go on and on about all the fancy equipment and human patient simulators that cost as much as a house but I won't. I just know that this place was state of the art and you'd be fortunate to train there, or to be worked on by someone who was trained there.
