St. Scholastica Academy (SSA) is a private, Roman Catholic, all-girls high school in Covington, Louisiana. It is located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans.
Background
The SSA was established in 1903 by the Benedictine Sisters.[3] St. Scholastica was St. Benedict's twin sister. St Scholastica's foundation is based on four pillars. These four pillars are located in front of the school's entrance.[citation needed] SSA offers Honors, Advanced Placement, and Dual Enrollment courses.[citation needed]
History
In 1902 ground was broken in the building of a new school, St. Scholastica Academy. September 4, 1903, the large bell suspended above the new wooden four-story building rang for the first time.[citation needed] In 2016, Benedictine Hall was transformed into a STEM Building, to configure new science and math classrooms. In August 2019, Angelus Hall, a STEM classroom building holding a Mac Lab, TV Production Studio, 7 classrooms for Math & Theology departments, and 1 science lab was completed. Angelus Hall is connected to Benedictine Hall; the construction of Angelus Hall also came with the 10s, 20s, and 30s classroom buildings being demolished as they were outdated and no longer met students' needs.[citation needed]
Athletics
