Holy Savior Menard Central High School is a Roman Catholic middle and high school in Alexandria, Louisiana. It is affiliated with the Diocese of Alexandria in Louisiana.

It was formed as a merger of Menard Memorial School, earlier known as St. Francis Xavier Commercial College; and Providence Central School, previously known as Providence Academy.[1] In 1961 the creators of the school obtained the land. The consolidated school opened on August 30, 1967. It had a cost of $1,300,000. From the beginning, the school had boys and girls as students.[2] The main building had two stories and had classrooms and management offices. There were separate buildings for a chapel and a gymnasium. 591 students were registered, and 29 people were a part of the faculty.[3]

The school began teaching grades 7 and 8 in 1988; previously those grades attended Our Lady of Prompt Succor School.[1] According to Bob Mahfouz, then the principal, this would allow 9th grade students to be eligible to play for varsity sports under the rules of Louisiana's school athletic association.[4]

In 2015 the science laboratory was renovated.[5]
