History of Martin Behrman School
Behrman High School opened in 1931 as a co-educational facility with a student body
of 1,700 pupils. Westbank students no longer had to cross the Mississippi River for secondary
schooling. Since the school's opening in 1931, the configuration of the school has changed many
times. Behrman has been an elementary-junior high school and a junior-senior high school. From
1964 to 1970 Behrman was a senior high school. Behrman became a high school, grades 7-8, in
1974, and in 1985 added the sixth grade to its middle school configuration. Martin Behrman was an
elementary school with grades Pre-K through 6th from September 1987 to August 2005, when the
infamous hurricane named Katrina ravaged New Orleans. The school sustained only minor damage
and was chosen as a site for a new charter school, although its name was kept the same.
The Algiers Charter School Association founded Martin Behrman Charter Elementary School
(PreK-8) in December of 2005, three months after the storm, to serve New Orleans residents who had
returned to the city. Martin Behrman Charter Elementary School is located, in the historic Algiers Point
neighborhood on the westbank of New Orleans. Martin Behrman now services children in grades Pre-
K through 8th. Mrs. Rene Lewis-Carter serves as the Principal and Mr. Brian Young and Mrs. Cherie
Goins are Assistant Principals.
Mayor Martin Behrman (click here to view slideshow)
The school is named after Martin Behrman who was born in New York on October 14, 1864.
Shortly afterwards his family moved to New Orleans where his father died. His mother supported
the family by operating a dry goods stall in the French Market. Her death, when Martin was 12,
marked the end of his formal schooling. A relative, who lived in Algiers and operated a retail grocery,
took the youth in and gave him employment as a clerk.
Martin Behrman was an outstanding civic leader. He was a master politician and was elected mayor of
the city. During his term in office, Behrman successfully guided New Orleans through a period
of development and industrial expansion. He served longer than any other man as Mayor of New
Orleans.
