Ever Striving,
Ever Achieving

At Shaw, education goes beyond the classroom—it’s about growing into the man you’re meant to be.

The Westbank New Orleans Boys Catholic High School

Archbishop Shaw has been an anchor in the Westbank community for over 60 years.

At Archbishop Shaw High School, your future is built on a firm foundation—rooted in the Salesian charism of Saint John Bosco and a deep belief in the potential of every young man.

When you become an Eagle, you join a close-knit community of students, faculty, and staff. From the moment you step on campus, you are welcomed into a family grounded in reason, religion, and loving kindness.

A Shaw education forms you for this life—and prepares you for the next.
