We believe in a holistic approach to education. We believe that young men learn from the total experience of the school setting. We attempt to address the religious, academic, social, psychological, physical, and cultural development of students through our programs, classes, service, and faith. We are currently accepting applications for the 2022 - 2023 School Year.
In admitting students, we look for young people who can profit from and contribute to the religious and educational mission of CHS, which aligns with the mission of the Brothers of Sacred Heart. Catholic High School strives to create an atmosphere for learning that provides each student with opportunities to thrive.

FOUNDED IN 1894 by the religious order of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, Catholic High School continues today as an independent, Catholic, all-male college preparatory high school. Catholic High School has been recognized six times by the U.S. Department of Education as a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence.
In 1894, the Brothers of the Sacred Heart established a school in Baton Rouge under the name St. Vincent's Academy, which has become known as Catholic High School. In 1894, the Brothers of the Sacred Heart established St. Vincent's Academy. From a humble beginning with 106 students, the school continued to grow so that by the late 1920s the old frame building that housed St. Vincent's no longer could contain its student body of nearly 300 boys.
The Brothers of the Sacred Heart is a religious congregation of men founded by Andre' Coindre, a diocesan priest, in Lyon, France, in 1821. Their mission is the evangelization of young people, especially through the ministry of education.
Initially, the brothers' new community went through very difficult times, but by 1847 it had grown and prospered to the point that five missionary brothers were sent to the United States at the request of the first bishop of Mobile, Alabama.

The absolute worst 4 years of my life. Everyday was a battle and struggle to get through. Rigorous discipline with no fun, 0 privacy. I felt as though I was an animal being caged, dehumanized. Lisa Harvey traumatized me so bad that I am now in intensive trauma therapy twice weekly to recover. The memories of this school will haunt me forever.
