St. Katharine Drexel Preparatory School (also known as Drexel Prep or SKDP) is a private Catholic high school in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Description
[edit]It was established in 2013 by six alumni of Xavier University Preparatory School, who purchased the building after the previous school was closed.[2] The school is named for St. Katharine Drexel and remains on the campus of the former school in Uptown New Orleans.[2]
Drexel Prep has no affiliation with St. Katharine Drexel Catholic Church in the Garden District, which instead had a parish school, Holy Ghost School, that closed in 2015.[3]
Drexel Prep students compete in the Louisiana High School Athletic Association.
