Bonnabel is the only high school in Kenner, and serves most of Kenner and parts of Metairie.East Jefferson High School had been using "A.M. & P.M. platoon shifts" where the first classes went to school from 6 a.m. until noon, and the second shift went from 12:30 to 6:30. In 1973 they started building a new all male school named Alfred T. Bonnabel High. Even though it would not be completed until 2 years later, they decided to call the morning shift “Bonnabel” and the afternoon shift “East Jefferson”. The following year the two shifts flip-flopped. The third year the student that had been using the name “Bonnabel” moved into their new building just north of I-10 between David Dr. and Williams Blvd.CampusThe school is on a 30acre property in Kenner. Ray Ferrand, the principal in 2002, said during that year that, as paraphrased by Megan Kamerick of the New Orleans CityBusiness, the school could be "overwhelming" for first time students. Bonnabel's main campus includes multiple academic buildings spread across, including a building dedicated exclusively to Freshman students. The campus also consists of a full sized Baseball and Softball field, field house, and gym. A memorial garden for a student killed in 2016 was also dedicated in May of 2016 by the class of 2017 and administrators
