Fish Bayou School



Fish Bayou School was a one room school located on the banks 

of the Bayou Macon River in the community of Swampers, Louisiana.  

The school was built around 1908 on land donated by

Walter Scott.  Children in the grades first through third were 

taught in this building before going on to Lone Pine School which 

was located across the Bayou Macon.  

        

Some of the teachers that taught at Fish Bayou were Sally Halley, 

Eda McDuff, Zadie L. Fletcher, Ella Betts, Ethel Butler,  

Rose Mae Evans, Frances Ford, Shepherd Reagan, and Frankie

Simons Ferguson.  Frankie Ferguson was the teacher when 

Fish Bayou closed in the early 1950s.

The children began going to the new school, Ward III.
