Plaquemine High

The Plaquemine High Health Center opened in August of 2017 in Plaquemine, Louisiana.  The health center is located on campus in the main school building across from the front office.  It serves the student population of Plaquemine High, as well as faculty and staff.  Students can visit the health center by scheduling appointments during non-core curriculum class time or during lunch.  Parents can call the health center and request that their child receive immunizations or check-ups by communicating information to the Medical Assistant or Nurse Practitioner on staff.  All students must have a current consent and enrollment form on file at the health center in order to be seen by medical staff.  Consent and enrollment forms are sent home at the beginning of the school year; however, parents may sign their child up at any time during the year.  Copies of the consent and enrollment forms can also be found on the “Health Center” page of the Plaquemine High School website.

Nurse Practitioner Courtney Breaud provides primary care services for students including well checks, immunizations, sports physicals, acute and diagnostic services.  Mrs. Breaud is a proud Plaquemine High mom and is excited to be working at the health center on campus.  She is assisted by Chiquite Gordon her medical assistant. Ms. Gordon also serves as front desk administrator for the clinic.  Licensed Professional Counselors Markita Anderson and Arteikia Harrell offer counseling and support services to students including:  stress and anger management, dealing with anxiety, bullying, substance abuse, trauma, grief counseling and communication skills. Students at the Iberville Optional Education Center also receive therapy by Ms. Harrell with the consent of their parent or guardian which helps students with their transition back to school.

The school-based health center does not replace your child’s pediatrician. The clinic offers continuity of care for your child during the school day. On your consent form, you will be asked to list contact information for your child’s pediatrician, therapist, psychiatrist, and/or dentist so that our school-based staff can keep them informed of any follow-up your child may need.

Co-pays are waived for all students and faculty/staff enrolled at our health center.  Commercial insurances including Medicaid and Medicare are accepted.  Students who are uninsured can also receive care with a consent and enrollment form on file with the health center.  Any medications prescribed for your child may be filled through our Access Health Louisiana Pharmacy and delivered to your home.  We also work with nearby Walgreens pharmacies and can have most prescriptions filled at a discounted rate.

Students needing emergency care after school hours, please call 9-1-1.
