BELLE CHASSE, La. Just a month and a half after announcing that Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School in Plaquemines Parish would close due to declining enrollment and a large deficit, the Archdiocese of New Orleans has reversed course and said the school will remain open, at least through the 2021-22 academic year.
The Archdiocese made the announcement official Friday.
“We are very excited to announce to you that after a series of consultations and with the strong outpouring of support from the Belle Chasse community, Our Lady of Perpetual Help School in Belle Chasse, will remain open for the upcoming 2021-22 school year.”
