Other indications of its academic excellence are the consistent high achievements of students in Literary Rally, Social Studies Fair, Science Fair, and Quiz Bowl. Until this year, and hopefully will get back to it with the administration change, Menard has been very active performing service within and for the CENLA community. Rounding out the excellence at Menard is the athletic program. It is amazing that a school this size can not only field teams in so many sports, but also be consistently so competitive in each sport.

This school is only for those children who's parents grew up in Alexandria, made a lot of money or are living off trust funds.

There is no continuity in their discipline. It just depends on who you are as to how disciplined you will be. Unless, as a parent you are not concerned about the moral high ground your child will be taking, then I would suggest somewhere else.

Good School. We had lst hand experience w/ other local high school and were sorely disappointed. Menard's communication w/ parents and concern for the student's is so much more effective and geniune. My next child WILL go there in 2 years. We won't waste valuable time at any other.
