The new health clinic at Warren Easton Charter High School was built in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina with funding from Sandra Bullock as well as the Kellogg Foundation and The San Francisco 49ers Foundation.

According to People, she said, in her speech at the ribbon cutting ceremony: “I have seen nothing but unimaginable kindness, perseverance and hope right in this room here. It gives me great pleasure to be in the company of these people who have actually made the difference. They did the hard work, they are here sitting before you…These young adults have seen the very worst, and they are committed to the very best. They are our future leaders. I would like to thank the students who step up to the plate and do the hardest work. I didn’t do it in high school, and it makes me so incredibly proud.”
