Permanently closed now and abandoned. My name is Kimberly (Cangelosi) King and I was a Supervisor at Reynold's Institute from 1980 to 1986. As I lost all my photos of Reynolds in Hurricane Katrina, anyone that will add some here, is greatly appreciated. I do believe the facility is long ago closed. Letellier II, Metairie, was Chairman of the Board and overseer of the institute. Reynolds was incorp

orated in 1970 as a Non-Profit Organization. Bobette Apple, Andrew Jackson, Brother Phillips, were all directors there. I have created this page as there is no website or information on Reynolds today. Reynolds was one of the most challenging and difficult jobs I have ever had and yet it taught me so much that when I joined the military in 1986. Anything we were asked to do, seemed extremely simple in comparison. I would love to hear from old friends and/or students that went there.

Sadly, I hate to report that in late February 2020, the abandoned buildings of Reynolds, burned to the ground.

Virtually every building at the former Reynolds Institute in Ponchatoula burned this weekend.
