LaSallian Tradition
Opened by the Brothers of the Christian Schools (Christian Brothers) on September 10, 1962, Archbishop Rummel High School welcomed 225 freshmen into its charter class. In its second year, with the admission of nine new freshman classes, the school had an enrollment of almost 600 students. Additional freshman classes were added each year until the 1965-66 school year when the school was a complete high school with 1,100 students. The charter class of 222 graduated on May 27, 1966.

The Christian Brothers relinquished governance of Archbishop Rummel High School to the Archdiocese of New Orleans in June 1993. Today, lay men and women comprise the administration, faculty, and staff of the school.

Archbishop Rummel High School is proud of its association with the Christian Brothers and the order’s commitment to the development of faith, community, and service in the students it serves. True to the LaSallian ideal of the education of young people, Archbishop Rummel High School recognizes the inherent dignity of each student and works to educate him according to his unique talents and abilities.

Just as importantly, Archbishop Rummel High School emphasizes that all students, regardless of economic level, academic ability, or ethnic background, be allowed to receive an education grounded in academic excellence.
