built as the 33rd Avenue High School, were completed in 1954 and are
considered eligible for the National Register of Historic Places

damage during Hurricane Katrina and have not been rehabilitated. The
Gulfport JCC has been operating at reduced student capacity in the
remaining three buildings and eight modular buildings. DOL proposes to
redevelop the Gulfport Job Corps Center (JCC) so that it can provide
training for the 280-student capacity for which it was originally
designed.
