The Archdiocese of New Orleans requires all new incoming 8th graders to complete a paper application. If your son attends a Catholic elementary school, his school will give him this paper application. Catholic elementary schools will also send his completed form to us.

Catholic elementary schools will send us their students' school records. Parents/Guardians are responsible for sending personal documents to us such as copies of your son's birth certificate, social security card, and immunizations.

We will begin prospective student interviews as early as December this year, though some will be completed in January.

All applicants will need to report to our campus on Saturday, January 11, 2020, for the High School Placement Test at 8:00 AM.
