Xavier University Preparatory School
School in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
Xavier University Preparatory School was a private, Catholic high school in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament founded, owned and operated the school, having opened it in 1915 as what would eventually become Xavier University of Louisiana.[2]
Andrew Vanacore of The Times Picayune wrote in 2013 that "Xavier Prep has evolved over nearly a century into a symbol of achievement for girls from the city's black middle class."[3] The school closed that same year, later reopened as St. Katharine Drexel Preparatory School.
