Istrouma Lights Come on May 17 For Mentorship

The lights will come on once again for Istrouma High School football when Istrouma hosts Mentorship Academy for a spring game at 6:30 p.m. on May 17 at Tack Jackson Stadium at Istrouma.
Istrouma was a perennial football champion, winning eight state championships in a 12-year period.
But the school was closed permanently in 2014 after the state failed to make it a success.
Nevertheless, through the efforts of alumni and Supt. Warren Drake, the school underwent a $24 million renovation and got a completely new staff.  It reopened last fall. The spring game will be the first home game since 2013.
