Louise S. McGehee School was founded in 1912 by Louise S. McGehee and opened in September of that year at 1538 Louisiana Avenue with thirty students. In 1929, Miss McGehee's School moved to the current location at 2343 Prytania St. and became a corporation known as the Louise S. McGehee School. The campus of McGehee has evolved quite a bit since moving to the current Garden District location. McGehee currently encompasses almost an entire city block with nine buildings and over 100,000 square feet of space.
