Visit Dates

Every fall, Archbishop Rummel hosts various grammar school students for “Raiders for a Day,” where students are able to attend classes, participate in class projects, eat lunch with the high school students, and experience life at Archbishop Rummel High School.  Specific dates for “Raiders for a Day” are posted below.

Students who want to “feel” their Archbishop Rummel experience should spend a day on campus.  To do so, the student or his parents should contact the Admissions Office and arrange a day for an on-campus visit.  Simply call the Raider-for-a-Day HOTLINE at 504-834-5592, Ext. 214.

On the pre-arranged day, the grammar schools guest will assemble in the Administration Wing of the school with other visitors.  The Admissions Director and other school officials will greet them. 

After lunch the guests will participate in various classroom activities.  They may take part in science class experiments, witness the activities of the web crew as crew members update the front page of the school’s website, use their hands in ceramics and art classes, or work with students in English or mathematics classes.

As the day concludes, they will be much better prepared to answer the question of whether Archbishop Rummel is their school of choice.  Experience with former visitors shows that the day is a truly worthwhile activity for grammar school students.

To sign-up for a day, simply call the school at 834-5592 and ask for the Raider-for-a-Day HOTLINE (Extension 214).  Normally, students report to the school’s primary entrance (by the flagpole on Severn Avenue) at a designated time.  Guests will have the opportunity to eat lunch with a current Archbishop Rummel 8^th or 9^th grader of their choice.  Please have a name in mind when you call or the Admissions Office will provide a willing student for lunch.
