I met some Ursuline girls in my college days. They were definitely fun
the Mt Carmel girls were too. Posted on 9/23/19 at 4:52 pm to Y.A. Tittle

I was genuinely curious if that really was the first HIGH school in the state.
In terms of how we think of High Schools as college prepatory schools, It's probably Jesuit in New Orleans followed by Holy Cross and I think St. Aloyisius in New Orleans as well. All girls schools in Louisiana were not college prepatory until much later....definitely post Civil War

Ursuline we’re teaching young woman, including native Americans, creoles, Spanish and French young ladies starting in 1727. One of the old Ursuline buildings is on Ursuline street in the French quarter. They moved to their new location uptown in 1903. When in the quarter, the Ursuline nuns nursed the wounded during the battle of New Orleans in 1812

The old gold OLPS statue that stood during the battle of New Orleans resides in the shrine on campus today.

I know that there is a church in central louisiana called Eden Methodist.
It was once a functional school and was built in 1788. It's still standing so I dont know if that counts being it's more a church than a school.

I find this quirky and interesting. What is the backstory?

I'd think a school in Natchitoches would be a front runner, assuming continuity, of the school given it's the oldest/1st settlement in LA.
Pointe Coupee parish makes 300 years old this year.

Saw your post from years ago. I am a member of a team that has put together info on African American High Schools in Louisiana before 1970. We have some info on Peabody and many other schools on the site. We could use more Peabody info, yearbooks etc. Check out the site and give me some feedback and a call or email. Would love to get your input. LSU Alum Class of 1972 Thanks.

St. Aloysius (Brother Martin) - 1869
Jesuit - 1847
Holy Cross - 1849
As mentioned already, Ursuline is the oldest by a significant margin.
