New Orleans – September 23, 2016
This morning at 11 a.m., all of the students and personnel at Cabrini High School were evacuated to meeting points around the school.
At 11:08 a.m. Engine 35 of the New Orleans Fire Department arrived. A second engine arrived minutes later. The school was inspected and the Fire Department found that an air freshener set off the school’s alarm.
The young ladies of Cabrini then returned to their classes.

Seniors have been enjoying coffee before their exams from Fair Grinds Coffee Shop. The Fair Grinds coffee cart is stationed in the breezeway near the cafeteria each morning and not only provides a pre-exam perk, but helps promote fair trade – an important element of Catholic Social Teaching.
Fair trade products ensure that the farmer/artisan receives a just wage; concepts like micro-finance, sustainable farming practices and community (co-op) organizing are also supported by the fair trade movement. Fair Grinds Coffee Shop is a 100% fair trade coffee shop.
By partnering with them, Cabrini helps to support fair trade as well as our local community. Please be sure to abide by the usual handbook rules: no beverages outside of the cafeteria area, no littering, etc. The Fair Grinds coffee cart will return next week for all students to enjoy each morning before their upcoming exams! Hot and iced coffee is available for $2 per cup.
Cabrini High School is a private, all-girls, Catholic school which educates the minds and hearts of students in grades 8 – 12. Since its founding, Cabrini High School has been a home for its young ladies. More than 3,000 alumnae have walked these halls, sat in these classrooms, worshiped in this chapel. More than 3,000 alumnae have bonded with teachers and staff who cared about them and could call them each by name.
A Cabrinian education is rooted in the philosophy of Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini, the first American citizen Saint who believed education should be of the mind and the heart. Mother Cabrini believed that education should be a relationship between the student and those whose care they have been entrusted.
Cabrini’s goal is simple: to develop women who live the core values of respect, excellence, and service not only during their high school years, but throughout their lives. We take that goal very seriously. It’s not just a slogan painted on walls or on our stationary.
