St. Katharine Drexel Preparatory School (also known as Drexel Prep or SKDP) is a private Catholic high school in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The school is named for the late Saint Katharine Drexel. She is the first saint who was born a U.S. citizen.
It was established in 2013 by six alumni of Xavier University Preparatory School, who purchased the building after the previous school was closed.
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]
St. Katharine Drexel Preparatory athletics competes in the LHSAA.
