The Great Flood of 2016 devastated the Denham Springs community . Denham Springs High School was one of the three schools that received substantial damage from the flood . As a result of the damages , Denham Springs High School was not able to return to class at their normal campus when classes resumed a month after the flooding event , so students had to travel to Live Oak High School where they attended classes in the afternoon , 40 minutes after the students of Live Oak had their classes . Although the school received substantial damage , it was not declared a total loss by the Federal Emergency Management Agency . As a result , the school system was only able to repair the damages while also making minor improvements . There was no work done to prevent future damages from flooding , so the school continued to see issues in 2017 after a heavy rain event
