Student Life

The Residential Experience

A Living/Learning Community

All students live in residence halls under the supervision of a professionally trained, full-time student services staff while engaging in and exploring extracurricular activities. LSMSA has a female residence hall (Caddo Hall) and a separate male residence hall (Prudhomme Hall).

The Student Life Advisors engage with students in a wide range of cultural, educational, leadership, recreational, social and wellness activities - encouraging students to make positive choices, build lasting friendships and search for a sense of balance between academic and personal growth. Our residential life staff also plans educational and social activities for students to relax and recharge from the rigors of academic life.

Caddo
Prudhomme

"Living in Caddo gives you a sense of community that you can't find anywhere else. You have to see each other every day, so it's pretty easy to make lifelong friendships here. There's even a sense of community with the teachers; they are really understanding and have a close friendship with the students."

"I think living in Prudhomme is an exceptional thing. The sense of camaraderie is great, its just one big family who supports and loves you."

"I would say that living on campus is the most enriching part of LSMSA. Being able to spend time and make memories surrounded by interesting people has made my high school life unforgettable."

"I feel like I'm really at home while on campus. Anywhere I go there are nice students who are always up to talk."
