Mr. Schoenberger spent his entire life in Buras. He graduated from Buras High School in 1942 and then enrolled in Tulane University where he obtained a law degree from Tulane Law School at 20 years of age. He was the youngest law graduate from Tulane at that time. After graduating from law school Schoenberger had to wait a year to meet the minimum age requirement to be admitted to the Louisiana Bar in 1947. Schoenberger then started his own law firm in Buras. In 1959, he was elected State Representative from Plaquemines Parish, a position he held until 1967, when he was elected Assessor. In 1969, he was elected Sheriff of Plaquemines Parish and served as Sheriff for 15 years, the last two terms being elected without opposition. He served on the Legislative Committee and Board of Directors for Louisiana Sheriff’s Association.
