The school is named for the late Saint Katharine Drexel. She is the first saint who was born a U.S. citizen.

History

It was established in 2013 by six alumni of Xavier University Preparatory School, who purchased the building after the previous school was closed.[2]

Location

The campus is in Uptown New Orleans.[2]

It has no affiliation with the St Katharine Drexel Catholic Church in the Garden District, which instead had a parish school, Holy Ghost School, that closed in 2015.[3]
