St Edmund Catholic School

What St Edmund Catholic School does

St. Edmund Catholic School is a private, nonprofit, coeducational Catholic school operating in Eunice, Louisiana under the Diocese of Lafayette, serving approximately 400 students across a Pre-K through 12th grade continuum. Founded in 1911 as St. Paul's Institute and renamed St. Edmund around 1921, the institution delivers a faith-integrated academic program with daily prayer, weekly Mass, and religious education, complemented by an extensive athletics and extracurricular program spanning football, baseball, softball, basketball, track, tennis, golf, volleyball, gymnastics, wrestling, powerlifting, cheer, dance, drumline, and academic clubs. The school holds accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Louisiana Department of Education, and reports an ACT composite of 20.0 for the 2023-2024 school year, exceeding both Louisiana and national averages, alongside dual-enrollment articulation with LSUE for college credit.

The school operates on a tuition-based revenue model billed annually, with parish subsidies available for families registered at St. Anthony and St. Thomas More parishes, plus a Tuition Assistance Fund. Supplemental revenue comes from annual fundraising appeals, Booster Club and PTC contributions, an online donations portal, a branded eCatholic online store, alumni network support, and community events such as the Spring Fair and Homecoming. Admissions are processed through the third-party FACTS Management / RenWeb platform, which also serves as the parent portal for grades, attendance, and communications, while instructional supplementation draws on consumer tools including Accelerated Reader, IXL, and Khan Academy.

Governance rests with the pastor of St. Anthony of Padua Parish, an appointed principal (Mitch Fontenot), an assistant principal, and an elected Advisory Council of parents/guardians serving three-year terms alongside ex-officio parish and development representatives. The institution operates a single campus footprint in Eunice across an administration building, elementary school, high school, and athletic complex, serving families primarily within St. Landry Parish with no disclosed geographic expansion plans.
