Request records from current school using the Transcript Request form available in September 2025. Jesuit requires three years of records including grades, discipline and standardized testing. Please print, complete, and give it to your child’s current school.

Archdiocesan Application Form

• Catholic elementary schools will make the Archdiocesan Application Form available to their students directly.

Once the form is completed, return it to your son’s elementary school, which will forward it, along with all of the Required Student Records, to Jesuit High School. This form will be disbursed to students from their elementary school in November 2025. Exact date has yet to be released by Archdiocese of New Orleans.
• All other elementary schools (public or private) are not required to submit this form, but are to send the Required Student Records to Jesuit High School.

All applicants to Jesuit High School will take the High School Placement Test (HSPT). The $30 one time, non-refundable, non-transferable fee is included with the application fee paid on Blackbaud.
