Benjamin E. Mays Preparatory School is located in New Orleans' historic 9th Ward – nestled just between the Gentilly and New Orleans East neighborhoods. Although the school is open to students and families throughout Orleans Parish, we primarily serve a community better known as Desire.
The Desire community represents a smaller section of the 9th Ward and has long been distinguished from other New Orleans neighborhoods because of its vibrancy and activist spirit.
The Mays Prep family is excited to be apart of the revitalization of this landmark community and look forward to serving the collective of individuals that make it so special.
