Catholic High School Build

Since 2014, Catholic High School has built and sponsored 5 Habitat homes. CHS has participated in the Habitat Youth Build since 2001, with thousands of students volunteering over the past 25 years. In 2014, students, teachers and administration joined together to raise the funds for an entire house. Students help raise the funds to sponsor the CHS Build through fundraisers and build each home over approximately six weeks.

“Catholic High School considers the relationship with Habitat of Baton Rouge to be a fundamental component of the holistic education of our students,” said CHS President Lisa Harvey. “From the student participation in fundraising for the home, to our students and faculty building the house, our entire school has the opportunity to make a difference in our local community. Catholic High is committed to continuing our Habitat build project in the future.”

The student volunteers are led by skilled crew leaders and are involved in nearly every aspect of the construction, gaining valuable skills and learning first-hand that everyone deserves a decent place to live and raise a family.
