For over 76 years, the Urban League of Greater New Orleans has told
the
story of how access
to equal opportunity is the key to Empowering Communities and Changing Lives. The mission
of the Urban League Parent Information Center (ULPIC) is to empower parents to be successful
agents and advocates for excellent schools. This requires parents to be educated about school
choices and equipped with skills to become leaders in their child’s school. The ultimate goal
of ULPIC is to increase student achievement in all schools in New Orleans, while building a
more informed and active parent base. The New Orleans Guide to High Schools was created
in response to the need for a resource that would aid students and parents in their journey to
schools in New Orleans, including:
• A map of high schools
• Contact information for high schools
• Application time-lines, open house dates, and other information about
how and when to apply
There is information that everyone can use:
• STUDENTS:
• PARENTS: Information to help in exploring all high school options and on funding a private
education
• SCHOOL STAFF: Tips for helping students write essays and prepare for interviews
• SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS: Information on how your school compares to other schools
