School Overview

L.B. Landry-Oliver Perry Walker College and Career Preparatory High School, located in the Algiers neighborhood of New Orleans, represents a significant educational landmark in the city. The school is the product of a historic merger between two legacy institutions: L.B. Landry High School, a school with deep roots in the African American community of Algiers, and Oliver Perry Walker High School. Following the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the subsequent restructuring of the New Orleans public school system, the consolidated campus was designed to provide a centralized, modernized facility to serve students across the West Bank.

Today, the school operates under the mission of preparing students for both post-secondary education and the competitive workforce. It emphasizes a rigorous academic curriculum combined with career and technical education (CTE) pathways, reflecting its commitment to college and career readiness. As a key educational hub in the Orleans Parish School District, the institution continues to honor its heritage while focusing on student achievement, community involvement, and the development of leadership skills in its diverse student population.
