The Willow School New Orleans

Willow Middle School kicked off our Spring season of Girls on the Run! The students are learning about team work and self-confidence while preparing to run a 5K in May. We are so proud of our GOTR team!

Willow High School students relaxed and reflected at the recent 2026 DaVinci Scholars Summit.

At Willow Middle School, Ms. Hardy-Young’s Project Lead the Way classes recently held their PLTW Expo, giving students the chance to showcase their final projects to parents/guardians and peers. It was inspiring to see the creativity, problem-solving, and innovation on display—what an exciting way for students to celebrate their hard work and learning!

Hope you can make it to the Boil this weekend! The weather will be beautiful and our entertainment lineup is HOT!

The Willow Middle School choir teamed up with the High School Jazz Band for an amazing rehearsal ahead of the Crawfish Boil—and let’s just say, it’s going to be a performance you won’t want to miss on Saturday!

The Willow varsity baseball program had the opportunity to serve at Second Harvest Food Bank. During their time there, they packaged more than 500 food boxes for families in need throughout our community. Our players truly enjoyed giving back and serving others, with the hope of making someone else’s day just a little bit better. We are proud of the way they represented our program through their effort, attitude, and willingness to help.

Willow High School's CAVA senior show is in THE CAVE gallery, room 407, after school today. The show features the work of C. Wolters, M. Bienvenu, and S. Messina, and is open for viewing today through Monday..

On March 6, the Black Student Union hosted a special Black History Month assembly surrounding this year's theme, "A Century of Black History." The assembly celebrated the creativity and impact of Black voices across a century. The assembly showcased many students who performed impactful poems, dance pieces, artistic rap, and signature pieces from the orchestra that reflected Black history and culture. During the assembly, visual artists created live drawings of civil rights figures Ruby Bridges and Malcolm X to highlight their influence. This event brought the community together to celebrate Black history and its everlasting impact.

This year’s Willow Baseball Senior Recognition Game will take place next Friday, March 13, at Brees Family Field, with the senior ceremony beginning at 4:15 PM and first pitch scheduled for 4:30 PM. We would love for our school community and families to join us as we celebrate these young men and their accomplishments.

This is always a special evening for our program, and your support means a great deal to our seniors and their families. We hope you can attend as we recognize their hard work and contributions to our program.

The event is free for all students and staf. There will be giveaways and prizes for Willow staff and students. We will be playing Ben Franklin.

Jan. 28th was National Library Shelfie Day. A "shelfie" is a selfie taken with your favorite library shelf. This holiday was started in 2014 by the New York Public Library as a fun way to share the love of libraries around the world. Willow HS students and teachers enjoyed snapping shelfies at their favorite spots in the library in recent weeks.

Come cheer on our runners at today's Fun Run at the Brees Family Field!

Willow Middle School students on Robotics Team 60065A, "Motorized Militia," competed in the Bishop Noland Open Tournament in Lake Charles on Nov. 15, and the NorthShore Robotics Open Tournament on Dec. 13, earning Double Championships at both events.

Team members Dongchen Liu, Leo Wei and (5th grade) and Arya Ning (6th grade) made strong contributions to these victories. Although these tournaments marked the beginning of this newly formed team, their performance was outstanding. After completing the qualifying matches and skills runs, they earned 1st place overall at each tournament, winning both the Teamwork and Robot Skills championships.

It was a busy week in the theater with 3rd and 4th Grade Exploratory students putting their hard work on display for audiences!  Ms. Oliver’s 3rd Grade Class DAZZLED with their production of The Solar System Saga and Ms. Carney’s 4th Grade Class took us on another EPIC adventure with The Odyssey. Bravo to the cast and crew of both terrific shows, and thanks to Ms. Santos for her direction!
