While long in the conceptualization phase, the school rapidly became a reality between October 2000 and September 2002 through the joint efforts of the Commander, Marine Forces Reserve; the Commander, Naval Forces Reserve; and the first Board of Directors of Belle Chasse Academy, Inc., backed by the active support of elected officials, businessmen, and community members
