I don’t really understand SSA. They lag behind ST Paul’s in academics and enrollment. Common sense would tell me at least enrollment should be on par bc they’re the only all boys/girls schools on the Northshore. I would walk down the street and take some notes if I were an administrator at SSA.

I went to BRHS and I’m not weird.

90s.
Want to say the French teacher in question was employed around 92-94 and didn’t get her contract renewed after Queen bitch got upset over how her snowflake was treated.

And I’m also not knocking the DoS’ attitudes or anything else. He just had no authority. At all. They made that job for him when he quit as basketball coach because he had been there for year.
He was just ineffective as much as anything.
Edit -
As far as the gay teachers and admin goes, it was a mixed bag.
Some of the very dykish coaches and one specific French teacher weren’t liked much.
The gay civics teacher was nice enough but would play favorites and was incredibly lazy.
A lot of people didn’t like the gay guidance counselor because he was worthless even by guidance counselor standards. At least one person I know missed out on scholarships because he insisted all paperwork with colleges go through him and he missed deadlines because shite was still on his desk.

BRMHS is roughly a 4A-5A school, meaning in the 60-80% quintile of school size.
Catholic, St Joseph’s, and most other Catholic schools are in 5A enrollment but that is given a 2x multiplier by being single sex schools.
Episcopal is a 2A enrollment of roughly 400 total in the HS.
U High is a 3A enrollment.
Catholic/St. Joes have about 250 per grade.
St. Michaels about 175-200.
U High/PBS about 150
Episcopal just under 100
Dunham around 60-70
This is from parents we know that have kids in these schools.
Not sure about BRMHS. I would guess 200?

Jesuit has been slacking big time
Every once in a while there is a down year. Last year Jesuit led the state, as it almost always does. They'll be back up in the mid to high 20s soon. But the Jefferson Parish public magnets are definitely attracting high achieving students from the Catholic schools.

Baton Rouge High has 1607 students. I’m sure their graduating class is smaller than their freshman class, but 375-400 is a decent placeholder.

The French teacher was before my time, as I have no clue who you’re talking about. And yeah, that 92-94 time frame is a good bit earlier. Had no idea about that incident at all though, which is fascinating bc there was always gossip about his family. I suppose the interest makes sense due to his position within the school.
And I think you’re pretty much dead on about what went down in 2003, and the first and second parts of it made the Advocate’s pages as well.
It is a shame that a number of teachers left with the subsequent head of school hire, as they lost some strong teachers.
The guidance counselor was also before my time although I think I know who you’re talking about.

Honestly that incident gets forgotten because it was so divorced from other stuff that family has been into.
Oldest son was toking on campus and got a slap on the wrist for it, leading to the joke about how if you were going to do that, you do it with his kid.
They found a Goody’s headache powder in the ceiling of the senior room and he did the fingertip test to see if it was coke, then talked in chapel about how the cops told him never to do that because of how dangerous it was.
Lots of backbiting over teachers not getting their contracts renewed and the teachers finding out when the school rumor mill heard before them. Etc.

I had a kid who went to BRMHS for her Freshman year. Academically it is a WONDERFUL school. She did great too but it wasn't a good fit for her, she wanted to dance and all BRMHS had was ballet. There was no football games to go to. And it was ULTRA liberal, like to the point that she couldn't ever state her opinion on something unless it alligned with the liberals. They did walk outs for some person that got shot by cops. She switched to St. Michael her soph year on a full ride scholarship, wound up graduating with 21 hours to LSU. So all and all I think it was the right decision.
Typical progressive infiltration of schools. Back when I went there it was NOT overtly political one way or the other it was quite neutral with emphasis on a good well-rounded education, and emphasis on critical thinking skills.
The most that was allowed was save the planet clubs, etc.
