Growing
Beyond
For 40 years, LSMSA has provided students from every parish in Louisiana with an educational experience that is second-to-none. Champions for curiosity, exploration, and service, we inspire students to reach their full potential and provide life-changing opportunities that prepare our graduates to become innovative leaders who will change the world.
The next generation of Louisiana School students is counting on us to turn passion into purpose. Together, we will secure a future – for them and for LSMSA – that is beyond what anyone could have imagined.
Beyond
Boundaries
Growing Beyond is the most ambitious campaign in the history of the Louisiana School. Its bold vision will not only transform our campus for a new era but will also ensure that we continue to attract and challenge top students and faculty with cutting-edge resources and one-of-a-kind opportunities. This campaign supports four key areas to lead, thrive, build and soar beyond all expectations.
Leading
Beyond
Providing transformational opportunities for tomorrow’s leaders.
Your gift to establish a signature leadership program will allow us to deliver a comprehensive curriculum in the classroom that is complemented by experiential learning opportunities on campus and beyond.
Thriving
Beyond
Fostering a healthy culture of achievement and overall well-being.
Gifts to support student life and wellness will grow our professional staff, enhance mental health services, upgrade physical fitness facilities and equipment, and provide students with ongoing wellness training and education.
Building
Beyond
Your gift to support the Innovation Center will build a new state-of-the-art facility that transcends academic boundaries and transforms the educational experience at LSMSA, allowing students to create, collaborate, and connect through hands-on learning, interdisciplinary instruction, and strategic industry partnerships.
Soaring
Beyond
Gifts to the Eagles SOAR Fund will provide essential funding that makes it possible for LSMSA to do more than keep pace with peer institutions: We will set the curve.

You will lighten financial burdens, enhance professional development opportunities, and produce life-changing experiences that guarantees every student walks across the stage with pride on graduation day.
