Charism
The school bears the name of Joseph Francis Rummel, the ninth archbishop of New Orleans. Archbishop Rummel was a strong, determined spiritual leader noted for his commitment to the growth of Catholic education and for his dedication to social justice. We respond to his example which is characterized by his own motto, “To give one’s life for the sheep.” Archbishop Rummel High School was originally staffed by the Brothers of the Christian Schools. We remember our past, rooted in the philosophy of St. John Baptist de La Salle, the founder of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, which calls on the institution to see all things and all people through the eyes of faith.
