MISSION STATEMENT
Concern Citizens of Mossville’s (CCOM’s) Mission Statement is to hold Sasol and surrounding Industries accountable for the demise of life and environment, in fence line communities locally and around the world. CCOM, as a united front, will use every available tool, to combat generational environmental injustices, endured by Mossville residents, at the hands of Sasol and surrounding Industries. Our mission will be successful, once Sasol and all Petrochemical companies relocate all fence line communities, nationally and internationally, out of harm’s way.
In the early 1950's, Mossville's first school was a wooden building, which sat where Mossville's Recreation Center sits today. However, in 1955, when Calcasieu Parish built Mossville's High School, Mossville's old wooden school building became Mossville's first Recreation Center. Later in the early 1960's that old wooden school building was upgrade and constructed into what you see here today.
