Holy Name of Jesus School

Established in 1891, Holy Name of Jesus School is located in the Uptown area of New Orleans, carved into the campus of Loyola University. For over 125 years, we have been educating the whole student, academically, spiritually, physically and socially. Each day we live out the Ignatian Charisms taught by St. Ignatius of Loyola, showing our students how to become boys and girls for others. We believe in pursuing personal and academic excellence, while seeking to find God in all things. Our dynamic sense of community paired with innovative academic programs and Jesuit spirituality, is what truly sets us apart. 

To wonder, to achieve, to make a difference, together. That’s what Holy Name of Jesus School is all about!
