Barry Neuburger

Principal

Barry J. Neuburger begins his first year as principal of Jesuit High School. Mr. Neuburger was selected after an extensive national search and is only the fifth lay principal in the school’s 112-year history.

Prior to accepting the position at Jesuit, Mr. Neuburger was the founder of Our Lady of the Hills Regional Catholic High School in Kerrville, Texas, where he served as principal from 2001 – present.  He also served as principal of Jesuit High School of New Orleans from 1995 – 2001 and assistant principal for Archbishop Hannan High School in Meraux, Louisiana, from 1993 – 1995. In addition to his long experience as a school administrator, Mr. Neuburger taught high school biology for 13 years. 

“Throughout his career, Barry Neuburger has shown himself to be an outstanding Jesuit educator and a true leader in Catholic secondary education,” said Fr. Richard C. Hermes, S.J. President of Jesuit. “His decade of experience at Jesuit High New Orleans, four years in the classroom and six as principal, has given him a sure grasp of Jesuit education from the inside and the knowledge of what it takes to deepen and advance the Ignatian identity of a contemporary Jesuit High School.”

A native of New Orleans, Mr. Neuburger holds master’s degrees in Business Administration from the Florida Institute of Technology and in Educational Administration from the University of New Orleans.
