#1 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Senior: I loved it! Jesuit High School has a very rigorous academic program that was at first challenging to me but, through hard work and mental discipline, I have matured into a intellectually competent man for others. I will always support my alma mater!

#2 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Alum: The brotherhood created through academics, athletics, and extra curricular clubs at St. Paul's lasts a lifetime. I still keep in touch with classmates who have moved across the country for college and their future. The student/falculty relationships are excellent. Lasallian brothers still run and teach at SPS. The day I met Brother Ray (principal at the time) he knew my name and my birthday already! Most sport coaches are also teachers that interact with students on and off the field or court. The campus consists of multiple buildings with beautiful landscaping much like many college campuses. The facilities include a baseball field, a turf soccer/football field and track, basketball gym, wrestling gym, tennis courts, a large pond, and a theater. Since I have graduated, the school has established concentrated college prep courses such as pre-engineering, pre-med, and economics. Those course will definitely give graduating students a head start in their future academic endeavors.

#3 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Senior: I enjoy the sense of caring that comes from everyone involved at the school. Despite being one of the larger high schools in the state, every student feels like they are more than just a number. Also, the large dedicated amount of resources into all aspects of the school means that no matter what a student is interested in, they have the chance to enjoy that activity.

Academy of the Sacred Heart

#4 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Alum: Overall, I really like Sacred Heart. I like what it stands for. I like the small, Catholic school environment. I went for thirteen years. As a high school student, I have to admit, my life sucked. The administration, which they currently have, is some of the worst people in charge. When you tell the school about your problems, they definitely don't care. They talk down to you and treat you like it is your fault. They don't understand the amount of stress they put on students and they simply do not care about students.

#5 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Parent: St. Joseph's Academy has been heaven sent! In a world where more emphasis is put on Fashion and other foolishness, we found a school whose purpose is not tobnb offer an excellent education, but to build string Godly young women, with a servant’s heart. Understanding that serving others has far greater rewards than anything else we can do. My daughter has blossomed and gained a sense of self and purpose in her academic career at SJA that I'm convinced will help her succeed in her collegiate endeavors.

St. Mary's Dominican High School

#6 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Alum: I loved Dominican and miss it every single day! I made my best friends here and we had great experiences together. The teachers wanted us to succeed and it showed through their personality and work ethic. We valued religion and always stressed to listen and respect people's opinions even when they were different from our own. We valued culture and even had a day to celebrate different cultures from around the world with outfits, singing, and dancing. I had great relationships with my teachers and was able to be myself and feel comfortable asking questions. Teachers were available to answer questions after school and were willing to help as much as they could. I believe Dominican is even better than when I left. They have a brand new building that focuses on the important connection between science and religion. I truly believe that Dominican has shaped me into the young woman I am today and I am extremely grateful for having the opportunity to grow and learn there.

#7 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Junior: Mount Carmel Academy is a great high school for anyone to send his or her daughter. Not only are the academics outstanding, but the environment is as well! I am currently a junior attending this high school, and when I was trying to figure out where to go to high school, I will admit that I was a bit hesitant to come here because it was completely different from what I was used to, and not to mention, I had no idea who anyone was coming into this school; nonetheless, I am very glad that I decided to come here and stay because of how welcoming everyone is, how helpful and understanding the teachers are, and the school's culture is so unique. The school also offers rigorous classes along with numerous fun clubs and activities to fit everyone's interests.

#8 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Senior: Hannan has provided me with an amazing high school experience. The teachers are all amazing, the classes are all clean, and the technology is all modern. The class sizes are never too big and students never feel disregarded. There are many sports and clubs to be a part of, and everyone is very friendly. I am currently a Senior and have been at Hannan since my Freshman year. I have taken honors and accelerated courses the entire time but have never felt overwhelmed. There is an excellent counseling staff who help you choose your classes and find the best path for you. The result of all of these factors is a truly one of a kind high school experience which will serve me well for the rest of my life.

#10 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Parent: This school is unique as it is the only school in Louisiana that can offer single gender education for PK-12 for both boys and girls on the same beautiful campus, and has a boarding school in which our children can make friends and be exposed to cultures around the world. The international exchange program with the many Schools of the Sacred Heart also opens up an opportunity for my children to be able to travel abroad and give them a more global perspective. Besides these unique opportunities, it is hard to put into words the feel of this school. It’s rich, near 200 year history, the pride the boys and girls have in their school and the lifelong bonds they make with their fellow brothers and sisters, and the goals of the Sacred Heart that are deeply instilled in the children and their families, give us all a sense that we are blessed to be a part of this holy place.

#12 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Senior: St. Louis is more of a smaller high school, but it is to its advantage. Being one of the only private, catholic high schools in the Lake Charles area, it stands out among the others. At St. Louis, the environment is very welcoming and friendly. The faculty are one of the most caring I've ever seen. The amount of self-less love they have for their students is amazing. One reason why St. Louis stands out is because we have the opportunity to openly express, practice, and learn our faith. I have had some of the best times of my life at St. Louis!

Ursuline Academy of New Orleans
Private School

#14 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Alum: It was an experience I do not think could be replicated anywhere else. I was given the opportunity to cultivate close personal relationships with my peers and professors, and I felt personally cared for by both the professors and the administration. At the same time, the academics were rigorous, and I came to college fully prepared on topics like how to write a well-organized paper, how to deal with a lecture setting, etc. The AP classes were excellent preparation for the college class, and the overall experience molded me in so many ways. Ursuline is not a Jesuit school, but it is my belief that it excellently models the Jesuit mantra of "cura personalis": that is, care of the whole person.

#15 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Senior: I am currently a high school senior at Cabrini. My overall high school experience has been one I will cherish forever because of everything Cabrini has given and taught me. I have grown extremely close to my class of 90 and virtually know almost all of my school's community! I am extremely grateful for the rigorous curriculum Cabrini has provided me to prepare me well for college. I am also in many clubs such as student council, ambassadors, and NHS which have helped me enhance my leadership skills. Cabrini has given me so much and I could not imagine myself going anywhere else. The teachers are always incredibly helpful when in need of extra assistance and they are always fair.

#17 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Parent: We moved to New Orleans in July between my kid’s 10th and 11th grade years; my husband retired from the Army. I contacted De La Salle because we wanted a co-ed and racially, ethnically, and socially diverse school. Mr. Bonura (no longer at DLS), Ms. Atwood, and Mr. Kelly were wonderful. DLS accepted my daughter’s out-of-state classes as well as previous state Standardized Test Scores and assigned classes that fit her academic progression. When my daughter struggled with the Semester Schedule (this mimics college--classes are offered in an 18-week semester instead of across the whole school year), faculty helped her adjust. DLS is not without the usual teenage-related issues; when my daughter was having trouble with other students, the staff and faculty responded quickly and appropriately without me becoming involved. If you are moving to NOLA from out-of-town or out-of-state, I encourage you to consider De La Salle!

Senior: I transferred to Rummel after my freshman year. Upon finishing my 8th grade year I visited. Rummel and liked it but my parents chose another school. Academically the school was not the right fit for me. Once the school year was over my parents enrolled me in Rummel. The school was everything I wanted in a high school. The teachers were insightful and the students were friendly. The atmosphere at Rummel was one where any male school wanting to learn how to lead should be here!

The teachers care for the students like they’re their own children, the students grow close friendships, and there’s an activity for everyone— no matter what you’re interested in. I wouldn’t trade my experience at Chapelle for the world!

Senior: I love Edward Douglas White Catholic High School. I feel like this school has provided excellent education services, as well as provided all students with many opportunities through sports and clubs. Through my five years here, I have grown so close to my piers and the administration. No matter what, the teachers are always there to help guide you in the right path in order for you to succeed in your future. Without being at the school, I would not have nearly as many close bonds or would have been able to experience as much as I have here. I can gladly say that my school has prepped me for college with my education, and will lead me on a great path into becoming an adult in the real world.

#25 Best Catholic High Schools in Louisiana
Senior: Pope John Paul II Catholic High has provided me with academic excellence, a Christ-centered educational environment, and leadership skills. Although I am not Catholic, this school has helped me pursue a positive life by teaching personal morality, family life, and social morality. Our yearly, mandatory church and community service hours has positively improved my character development and outlook on life. Volunteering in my community and church has advanced my cooperation and communications skills. This school has given me an excellent education that will help with college preparedness. It offers honors, AP, and dual enrollment classes which I have benefited from. Our history, alma mater, fight song, and culture is what I love most about Pope John Paul II. A change I would like to see is more cultural diversity. I have matured spiritually, emotionally, and academically through these 3 years at this school.

Alum: I am a loyal Alumnus who now works at Cushing. When I was here as a student over 30 years ago this school embraced me as a youngster looking to find his way as a young freshman who needed a lot of guidance, structure & support. The support I got then is the same support that I see students getting now. Our faculty and staff are very hands-on and attentive to student needs and learning styles. We have an advisory system in place that has built-in checks and balances to make sure the students get the support they need & do not get lost. The student to faculty ratio is such that all students are respected and known for who they are and what they bring to our community. The true meaning of our mission statement, which reads - Cushing exists for students and develops curious, creative and confident learners & leaders has not been more evident for a long time. Cushing's future is bright and I am very proud to be a part of this community again as a faculty member and loyal Alum. Go Penguins!
