• Overview

Edna Karr High School began operation in 1964 as a junior high school named after Edna Karr, an educator who served as a teacher and administrator in the Algiers community. From 1964 until 1990, Edna Karr operated as a typical junior high serving grades seven to nine with an academic program that included regular education, special education, and gifted education. In 1990, the Orleans Parish School Board voted to change Edna Karr into a junior/senior high magnet school at the behest of community activists. As a result significant changes took place: grades, courses, and high school traditions were added. In addition, policies and procedures were written for magnet school clientele. In the years since 1990, Karr completed its SACS Ten-Year Update in 1998. In 2000 and again in 2005, Edna Karr earned the National Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence Recognition.

All of this changed in the fall of 2005 after Hurricane Katrina. With the creation of the ACSA, Edna Karr was one of the first six public schools to re-open in the city of New Orleans (December 15, 2005). Edna Karr reopened as a high school serving grades 9-12. Under the Algiers charter, Edna Karr once again has open enrollment and therefore is open to all students in Orleans Parish.
