Keatchie College

DeSoto Parish Louisiana

Keatchie College was founded in 1857 as Keatchie Female College by the Grand Cane Association of Baptist Churches. Eventually it became the coeducational Keatchie Male and Female College. Its second president was Rev. Jeremiah H. Tucker. In 1899 the Louisiana Southern Baptist Convention assumed management of the college, which closed sometime after 1917.
