Louise S. McGehee School

At Louise S. McGehee School, we prepare each student for her individual journey amidst a climate of innovation rooted in tradition. McGehee is a school of girls for girls. Our students understand that they can do anything because here girls fill every role – student body president, math whiz, sports star and valedictorian.

For a century now, our school has graduated young women who know what it means to be leaders and are ready to take charge of their futures.

An incredible visionary, Louise S. McGehee, founded our school in 1912. Her mission was to build a college-preparatory school for young women that would focus on each individual girl and foster a lifelong love of learning – a gateway to success.

We have never wavered from that goal. Our extraordinary faculty respects the way girls learn and teaches with a curriculum that goes beyond the walls of the classroom. Each girl is encouraged to succeed by harnessing her potential, finding her voice, taking risks and delivering her best.

We are thrilled that you are visiting our website and hope you can gain a sense of our school. However, the spirit on campus is contagious, and I invite you to experience it first hand. Please call our Admission Office at (504) 561-1224 for a private tour of our school. We look forward to welcoming you and your daughter.
