Athletics

Athletics are an integral part of the Lusher Charter School experience. With the school’s fundamental belief that students who are engaged with school life in a variety of ways tend to perform better in all facets of their education, athletics provides a fantastic way to become involved in life at Lusher. Beyond the values of participation in sports, Lusher prides itself on a history of fielding winning teams of some of the top athletes in the area. For over a decade, Lusher has participated at the middle school level in Metro Middle School Athletic Association competition as one of the only public schools in the organization. In fact, Lusher is one of the founding members of this athletic association. During that time, Lusher has won dozens of city championships and counting. Over one-half of Lusher students participate in athletics at Lusher, and the program is growing with the high school.

Lusher Charter School is officially joined the Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA) in January 2007. This allows the school to compete in region and state-sanctioned competitions and provide a level of credibility to the new high school athletic program. Fall 2006 saw the beginning of Lusher’s swimming program, featuring several state-ranked swimmers. The team practices at Tulane University’s Reilly Center. Additionally, Lusher High School students compete in the full-range of high school sports, with contact football added in fall 2007.

The Lusher Charter School coaching staff, under the direction of Athletic Director Louis Landrum, is one of the finest around. With a combination of veteran experience and youthful energy, Lusher coaches form strong bonds with their student-athletes, becoming great mentors and support staff for life beyond competition. Additionally, the Lusher coaching staff is assisted by some of the top NCAA student-athletes from Tulane University. All of this combines to form a vibrant and competitive athletic program that represents the school with pride on-campus and off.

A centerpiece of the athletic program at the Fortier campus is the newly-refurbished Atlantik-Bruecke Community Resource Center (ABCRC) gymnasium.

Football Equipment Funded by Peyback Foundation Gift

The Lusher High School football team has entered spring practice time with a generous gift from Peyton Manning's Peyback Foundation for new equipment. Some of the equipment is already being put to use as Lusher opens this exciting new chapter in our sports program history. Thanks to the Peyback Foundation for their wonderful support!!
