Holy Savior Menard Central High School is the Roman Catholic parochial secondary institution of learning in Alexandria, the seat of Rapides Parish and the largest city in central Louisiana. The Menard mission statement accents: (1) Faith Development, (2) Academic Excellence, and (3) Service. Menard, operated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Alexandria in Louisiana, enrolls approximately six hundred students.
The school also enrolls non-Catholics. It offers standard instruction in mathematics, science, history, English, social studies, and the arts. Catholicism, including the Old Testament and New Testament and Catholic morality, is taught in each grade as a required class. Mass is celebrated weekly, and each class makes an annual trip to the nearby Maryhill Retreat Center.
In athletics, Menard offers baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, and track and field. The team name is the "Eagles".
The nearly forty faculty members come from a diverse background; most are Catholic, but non-Catholics are frequently employed to teach at Menard. Parental invoylvement in the youngsters' education is encouraged through the Menard Parent Teacher Club.
