Catholic High School of New Iberia, Louisiana, has predecessors dating to 1918 and was opened in its current form in 1957 by the Brothers of the Christian Schools, and is located on De La Salle Drive, a road named after Saint Jean-Baptiste de la Salle, the man who founded the Brothers in 1680. De la Salle, an innovator in the field of education, was canonised by the Catholic Church on 24 May 1900, and in 1950 Pope Pius XII declared him to be the Patron Saint of teachers. The school was once boys-only.
The school is a private, coeducational institution which embraces the Catholic tradition, though it welcomes students from all faith communities. As of 2020, the enrolment was just under 600 students from 4th-12th grades. The mascot is the panther. The school has membership in the National Catholic Educational Association and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. It is co-owned by the city of New Iberia parishes dedicated to Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Saint Peter's, the Sacred Heart and the Nativity of Our Lady.
As required by the Diocese of Lafayette, the school operates a non-discrimination policy in regards to race, gender or religion in the areas of admission, academics, athletics and extracurricular activities.[5] Catholic High's main feeder school is Saint Edward's (Pre-K through 3rd grade) in New Iberia.
