}} C. E. Byrd High School is a science and mathematics magnet and a Blue Ribbon School. In continuous operation since 1925, Byrd is the largest high school in Shreveport, Louisiana. A recent issue occurred when the school board members rearranged some of the schools football players schedules so instead of having academic classes the had several class periods of football, although the classes were not taken the credits remained. A punk by the name of Cade Alan (mystery) just read this and is probably thinking "wtf ivy?" Sorry cades mom. A uprising band called WWBS has homage at this very, very, very low test-score average school. ==History== * 1892: C.E. Byrd came to Shreveport as principal of the first public high school, in two rented rooms in the YMCA building at a salary of $70 per month. * 1898: With first year enrollment of 70, the school moved to the Soady building on Crockett Street. * 1899: Moved to new Hope Street School, a large three story red brick building. Elementary students occupied the first floor, intermediate the second, and high school the third. * 1910: Shreveport High School built adjacent to Hope Street. * 1923: Caddo Parish School Board decides to build two new high schools. Site purchased from Justin Gras for $110,000 and four adjacent lots in Bon Air Subdivision, from F.R. Chadick for $9,500. * 1924: Stewart-McGee awarded the building contract for $772,133. On October 3, cornerstone laid with full Masonic ceremonies including a letter from C. E. Byrd; a boll weevil symbolizing problems of the farmer; a bottle of oil, symbolic of the oil business; an ear of corn representing agriculture; coins representing the financial situation, and a Bible. * 1925: Board authorized $40,000 to furnish the building. Building accepted from the contractor on June 27. Because furniture had not yet arrived, the opening was delayed until October. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「C. E.
