Three ways to go further.

Every Raider takes a full college preparatory core. These three reach past it, and one of them means starting college with credit already earned.

01

AP and Dual Enrollment

Ten AP courses from sophomore year, plus LSU college credit earned in the Rummel classroom.

College credit ›
02

Unique Electives

Cybersecurity, Robotics, TV Production, Photography, Public Speaking, Accounting, Art, and Band.

Browse ›
03

Pre-Professional

Biomedical Sciences, Engineering, Media Arts, and Sports Medicine, taught by people in the field.

Four tracks ›

Nine departments. One faculty.

Teachers here know their students by name. A good many of them are Raiders themselves, back in the building they grew up in, teaching in the place they still call home.

Theology

A five-year curriculum faithful to the Magisterium, guiding students from Sacred Scripture and the Person of Christ through the sacraments, the Church, morality, and Catholic social teaching, culminating in Christian vocations.

Chase Rodrigue, Chair

English

English every year at every level, with a dedicated reading course in eighth grade and college credit through dual enrollment in the upper grades.

Ronnie McKenna, Chair

Mathematics

Required every year, from Pre-Algebra through Calculus and AP Statistics. Pre-Calculus and Calculus carry LSU credit.

Michael Cruice, Chair

Science

Four credits across Physical Science, Biology, and Chemistry, then a senior elective in Biology II, Environmental Science, or Physics.

Charlene Wetzel, Chair

Social Studies

Four credits across World Geography, World History, United States History, and Civics, with AP options in US History and Civics.

Emily Carmadelle, Chair

World Languages

Two years of a single language, carried far enough to be useful. Honors students read Latin through Latin IV, and Academic students study Spanish.

Jeffrey Hines, Chair

Fine Arts

Speech, art, and music, from Art I through IV and Fine Arts Survey to band at both beginning and advanced levels, photography, and video production.

Danielle McLeod, Chair

Physical Education

Paired in the first year with Dynamics of Effective Study, and later with preparation for the PSAT and the ACT.

Jay Roth ’81, Chair

Pre-Professional

Biomedical Sciences, Engineering, Media Arts, and Sports Medicine, taught in partnership with professionals working in the field.

Bob Whitman ’69, Chair

Taught up close

Teachers know their students.

In the pit

Rummel Robotics builds, tests, and succeeds in competition.

Where it takes them

The Class of 2025 was offered $10,191,452 in scholarships, and that is before TOPS.

The core curriculum. Subject by subject.

Rummel requires more than TOPS and the state of Louisiana. Theology the whole way through, and each student serves over 100 hours in the community.

The Writing Center

Revise. Assess. Format. Transcribe.

Any period of the day, a Raider can sit down with someone who will work through a draft of a lab report, essay, or even a paragraph.

Students leave the writing lab knowing how to improve their writing.

Two tracks. One standard.

Both tracks are college preparatory. Placement is based on test scores and student performance in the classroom.

The Honors Track

Honors work across every core subject, along with AP and dual enrollment courses during sophomore, junior, and senior years. Students must maintain an A or B average.

The Academic Track

Courses are taught at a typical high school pace to better prepare students for college. Students take the core classes along with electives.
