Holy Name of Jesus School

About Holy Name of Jesus School

Established in 1891, Holy Name of Jesus School is located in Uptown New Orleans, adjacent to Loyola and Tulane Universities. For over 125 years, we have been dedicated to educating the whole student—academically, spiritually, socially, and physically—guided by the Ignatian charisms taught by St. Ignatius of Loyola. Each day, we strive to show our students how to become boys and girls for others, seeking personal and academic excellence while discovering God in all things.

Our vibrant community, innovative academic programs, and Jesuit-inspired spirituality set us apart, creating an environment where students can wonder, achieve, and make a difference—together.

Who We Are

Holy Name of Jesus School serves the Greater New Orleans area with a mission rooted in faith, family, and foundation. The traditions and charisms of the Jesuit Fathers and the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas continue to guide our work, ensuring that faith development remains integral to every student’s growth.

We are an inclusive community committed to nurturing confidence, compassion, and integrity in our students, while fostering academic excellence and a lifelong commitment to the Catholic faith.

Faith. Family. Foundation. Over 125 years strong.
