Background

Established in 1984 by the Catholic Diocese of Baton Rouge as Bishop Joseph V. Sullivan Diocesan Regional High School, the name was changed to St. Michael the Archangel Diocesan Regional High School in 2005 due to sexual abuse allegations against its namesake —— Bishop Joseph Sullivan.^[5] The school is located in the South Central Deanery on 63 acres in White Oak Subdivision, and is surrounded by protected wetlands under the auspices of the school. Staffed by a faculty of religious laymen and women, the school is accredited by the Louisiana State Board of Elementary & Secondary education and by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Operational guidelines are based on the administrator’s handbook for the State of Louisiana.^[6]
