St. Cecilia School was dedicated on August 25, 1909, by Fr. Arthur Drossaerts, pastor of Sacred Heart church in Broussard, and opened on September 15, 1909, with an enrollment of seventy students. It was accredited as an elementary and secondary school by the State Department of Education in 1922. The high school department closed in 1964 by order of the Bishop of Lafayette as part of a movement to consolidate Catholic high schools in Lafayette Parish. The Sisters of Divine Providence administered the school until 1974. The main building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 14, 1983.
