I have watched four of my kids turn into very intelligent, and thoughtful young men and women as they have progressed through the years at CMH. I was raised in private schools and we never had half the opportunities that these kids have been offered at this 'public' school.

Hello, I am a recent graduate of Caddo Magnet High School. Any one that has attended Magnet (as we commonly refer to it) can attest to the fact that it is a true treasure.

While Magnet is not a math and science school, it is nevertheless the leader of the pack in nearly every science competition in Louisiana. C.E. Byrd (the math/science school) does not participate in science fairs or any other competition where they will encounter Magnet students. Quite odd you might say.

CMHS is the best kept secret in Shreveport. This school is for parents and children who are serious about their child's education first, sports second. Since moving to LA I found that football takes over the high schools and dilutes the academic quality. Football players and cheerleaders set the standards

CMHS remains in the top 3% of high schools in the entire nation and is the TOP high school in all of LA. (Check the stats). My 9th grade son loves it there and the kids are very accepting of each other. It's not in the greatest neighborhood but there are no problems.
