Did you know Archbishop Rummel High School in Metairie, Louisiana, once had a “Beautification Club” that planted shrubs around the campus? You can almost picture the students, working hard to make their school an even more beautiful place. That’s how we want to make this tour, too, by making it more and more beautiful, with every story and anecdote. Archbishop Rummel High School opened its doors in 1962, named after Archbishop Joseph Rummel, who wanted to establish Catholic secondary schools for the students of the Jefferson Parish. The Archbishop’s vision became a reality as the school housed 225 freshmen in its charter class and soon grew to an enrolment of nearly 600 students. It was a new beginning for many students, full of excitement, and a bit of uncertainty, as a new school always is. The school, which initially operated just as a high school, eventually added an eighth-grade program. Today, it’s a well-regarded institution with a strong academic program, renowned athletic teams, and a rich history, a place where students can learn and grow, not only in academics, but also in faith, community, and service. It’s a testament to the vision that inspired it and the dedication of those who made it a reality. So, be sure to check out the beautifully landscaped grounds of Archbishop Rummel High School, the next time you are walking through the area.
