St. Amant High School
St. Amant High School is located on 50 acres in St. Amant, Louisiana. The
school has an enrollment of 1,900 students and offers several academic
programs. One of the unique academic programs offered at St. Amant High
School is the Allied Health Academy/Sports Medicine program. This program
is designed for students interested in a career in any Allied Health Field.
It offers students a combination of didactic and field-based experiences
related to a variety of allied health care settings.
The Gators' facilities include pro-style fields and spacious locker rooms
for all athletic teams. The Gators also take great pride in their weight
room, which is the envy of many area high schools. The strength training
program is under the direct supervision of coach John Tally. The strength
training facilities includes multiple stations of squat, power clean, and
bench racks as well as multiple machines for the neck, lats, and leg curl/extensions.
The weight room is utilized by all athletic teams. The Gators facilities
also host a fully functional athletic training room. The athletic training
room has all modern modalities and rehabilitation equipment which makes
it a major asset to the school and its athletes.
Head Athletic Trainer Scott Arceneaux, ATC, LAT, is responsible for providing
comprehensive athletic health care for twenty-one teams at St. Amant High
School. Scott also is the director/instructor of the Allied Health Academy
which has a current enrollment of over 200 students. Scott states that,
"our principal, Patrice Pujol, our Athletics Booster Club, and the Athletic
Director, Doug Moreau, are the biggest supporters of our athletic training
program".
The best time to see Scott in the training room is on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Thursdays from 2:30 until 5:30.
