Ellender Memorial High School, is a public high school located in Houma, Louisiana, United States. It is within the Terrebonne Parish School District and is the fourth public high school to open in that district.
Ellender Memorial High School was named after United States Senator Allen Joseph Ellender.
In 2008, two co-valedictorians used a Vietnamese phrase to thank their families during their graduation speech. After the incident, the School Board proposed rules to require that graduation speeches use only English. This proposal was met with heavy backlash and was rejected.
