New Orleans Service Immersion Trip! 10
th, 11
th and 12
th grade students are invited to join us for a service immersion trip to New Orleans April 6-April 10, 2026. We will consider the history of the American South through a moral lens as we tour the city and immerse ourselves into the culture and history of New Orleans. This awareness experience will help us consider historical and contemporary systems of injustice through a visit to the Whitney Plantation and a Hurricane Katrina-focused tour in the Lower Ninth Ward. We will explore moral questions around human dignity, disaster response, race, and poverty as we engage in service activities and reflection. This trip satisfies student service expectations for the year for all grade levels. The Zoom info session is on Thursday, 11/13/25 at 6:30 PM. Link to join
