GREENSBURG - St. Helena Parish high school students could be dining in a new cafeteria next school year.

The school board approved a low bid Thursday for renovations of the former technical college building next to the high school campus.

Clay Slagle, senior program manager with Volkert Inc., said the base bid includes water and sewer improvements, architectural improvements and electrical work to convert the space into a food service area for the high school students.
