This hall sat in flood waters from the Industrial Canal for almost three weeks following Hurricane Katrina. The EPA shut down all buildings at Holy Cross and students attended class in portable classrooms built on the parking lot beginning in January, 2006.
In order to keep tradition of HC alive, the faculty cleaned this hall to enable the graduating class to make their traditional march through here on their way to Baccalaureate Mass.
They were the last class to graduate on this campus, the oldest boys' school in New Orleans.
