Bayou Paul Colored School

The Bayou Paul Colored School was one of the first schools established in the St. Gabriel area. It opened its doors to African American students in 1936 under the late Amanda Grace Anderson.

The one-room facility has molded several into excelling students, four of which are Anderson's sons, who are all college graduates. Grace passed in 2004, leaving behind hundreds of former students, grateful for her loving attention and stern discipline.
