The Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux is home to 10 Catholic schools serving students and families in South Louisiana, making it the largest ministry of our diocese!
Our schools place Christ at the center of education, forming students in faith, excellence and service while helping them grow academically, spiritually and personally.
Every day, our teachers, administrators and staff do far more than educate. They form, encourage, challenge and care for the young people entrusted to them, helping students grow in faith, discover their God-given gifts and prepare for the future. We are grateful for the dedicated people who make our Catholic schools places where faith comes alive and every student has the opportunity to thrive.
OCTOBER 1, 2026 We’re off to a great start to the new school year across our Catholic schools!
In these first few months, Superintendent Amy Vaccarella has been visiting schools, meeting with administrators, teachers and students, and seeing firsthand the many ways our schools are helping young people grow in faith, knowledge and character.
From classrooms and schoolyards to prayer and worship, these visits are a reminder of the vibrant communities that make Catholic education special in our diocese and the dedicated people who make it possible each day.
Here are 10 reasons to choose a Catholic education:
We pray together and celebrate the love of God.
We build the character of students by teaching and modeling Gospel values.
We prepare the whole person - mind, body, and soul.
We are passionate about rigorous intellectual and academic preparation.
We provide personal attention to students and families.
We create a high-expectation environment, immersing students with positivity and reminders of their potential.
We focus on building self-esteem by developing students’ gifts and talents.
We construct a safe and structured environment under the direction of safe environment guidelines and principles of ethics and integrity in ministry.
We incorporate home, school, and family working together to educate our children.
We are vigorous in our quest to improve, striving for excellence in all things.
