Archbishop Rummel High School is a Catholic secondary school located in Metairie, a community in unincorporated Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. The school is named after Archbishop Joseph Rummel, a former Archbishop in the Archdiocese of New Orleans.
Archbishop Rummel is a high school dedicated to educating the young men of the eastbank of Jefferson Parish; Archbishop Rummel is owned by the Archdiocese of New Orleans and administered and staffed by lay and religious personnel.
Archbishop Rummel High School is accredited by the Department of Education of the State of Louisiana and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and is nationally recognized as a Secondary School of Excellence by the U.S. Department of Education.
The school continues the tradition of the Christian Brothers who responded to the request of the Archdiocese of New Orleans in 1962 to conduct the school. For a period of 31 years (1962–1993), the Christian Brothers provided administrators and faculty who brought into the school the 315-year tradition of St. Jean-Baptiste de la Salle, the founder of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, who was named patron of all teachers by Pope Pius XII on May 15, 1950. On February 19, 2013 Archbishop Rummel High School officially re-associated itself with the Brothers of the Christian Schools. Brother Tim Coldwell, FSC, Visitor of the New Orleans-Santa Fe District and Archbishop Rummel alumnus, presented the certificate of re-association to Brother Gale Condit, FSC, Archbishop Rummel High School president.
Opened on September 10, 1962, Archbishop Rummel High School was one of four archdiocesan Catholic high schools established for students of Jefferson Parish, a New Orleans suburb, as a result of an archdiocesan campaign. On that first day of class, 225 freshmen formed the charter class of the school. In its second year, with the admission of nine freshman classes, the school had an enrollment of almost 600 students. Additional freshman classes were added each year until the 1965-66 school year when the school was a complete high school with 1,100 students. The charter class of 222 was graduated on May 27, 1966. The school operated as a four year high school until 1981 when the Archdiocese of New Orleans gave permission for the school to begin an eighth grade program for the 1982-83 academic year.
