Chalmette High School is located in Chalmette in St. Bernard Parish, LA, just outside New Orleans. The Parish was completely flooded during Hurricane Katrina. In the days after Hurricane Katrina a small group of dedicated staff, including school Principal Wayne Warner and Assistant Principal Cookie Mundt, opened the school as a shelter for parish residents. They were trapped in the school for four days with little food and water while they waited for rescue.
