BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Enrollment at Louisiana's community and technical colleges is up this year.

It's a nearly 13 percent increase, from 51,798 students in spring 2008 to 58,426 students this year. That's according to the latest enrollment figures released by the Louisiana Community and Technical College System.

The largest growth was at Nunez Community College in Chalmette, which was heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina more than three years ago. Its student count increased by 27 percent.

Next in line was River Parishes Community College in Sorrento, with 23 percent growth.
