It academically superb! It is immacualtely clean inside and out. The faculty, staff, parents, and students take great pride in Destrehan High.
As a member of Destrehan Alumni and a Parent of a currently enrolled student, I can honestly say that Destrehan High School stands above the rest.
The teachers are great and the cirruclum is taought well!
I recently moved to Louisiana from Baltimore, Maryland. For the first half of my junior year, I attended The Academy of the Sacred Heart, an all girls Catholic school in New Orleans. I transferred to Destrehan looking for something new, something with a little bit more diversity. I have been at Destrehan for almost two months now and I actually like it a lot. I think that just like any other school it has areas that could use some improvement, but overall I enjoy going there everyday.
I am a junior at Destrehan. I think that this school is overrated. The school enviroment is not a healthy one. Football players rule the school. They walk around with their shirts untucked, cell phones highly visibile, they just break all the rules. The average student can not thrive in this enviroment. There is a huge learning gap between the Honors community and the regular ed children. I would not recommend this school for a college bound student because there is no help.
I am an alumni of Destrehan HS, class of 2007, and I transferred my sophomore year from Immaculata HS. I loved going to Destrehan. The school's standards exceeded my expectations. I am very proud to say I graduated from this school.
I'm a junior at Destrehan and I absolutely love it. The teachers have become more than just my mentors, they're my friends and we're one big family. the academics here are almost unmatched, this goes for our sports as well. Our football team is currently 1st in district and undefeated. Our girl's volleyball team is very successful as well. I wouldn't see myself at any other school. This I can say because I transferred from Cabrini.
I recently graduated from Destrehan, and I have to say, it has really prepared me for what I am experiencing right now in college. The teachers will stop at nothing to teach you and help you succeed!
I am a junior at DHS and I have to say it is a very nice school. There are some negative points though. Many children are looked over. If your a student like myself you have to push yourself to get ahead. If you want to go to college then you have to take control. If your a regular students prepare to work hard and avoid peer pressure.
This school is the best educating school you'll find. I am currently a student here, and I love it. The teachers are really concerned about helping you prepare for college! I love it here, and I'd be disappointed if I attended school anywhere else!
