Catholic High alum in Baton Rouge question The whole Catholic high alumni advantages are bullshite. It's all up to the individual. I know plenty of St Michaels people who are more successful than Catholic grads. ETA: nobody cares about your high school diploma once you get your college one

No, this is bullshite. No one says everyone at CHS will be better off. The depth of alumni and the connections through conversation are far superior. Good luck interviewing with people over 40.

You really don't get what's being said. Sure, take a Harvard grad and a CHS grad who went to LSU and the Harvard grad will win on paper every time. Go to a cocktail party, meet someone at a company you want to do business, and common bonds turn strangers into people with a credibility check. Anyone my generation who went to Bishop Sullivan either left CHS or had parents who didn't care. It may be wrong, but the reputation was bad.
