Saint Patrick High School

Description

Founded by the Christian Brothers in 1861, Saint Patrick is Chicago’s oldest Catholic high school for boys. Rooted in the spirit and tradition of St. John Baptist de La Salle, founder of the Brothers of the Christian Schools and Patron of All Teachers, the Christian Brothers set forth a dignified, sensible mission: to prepare young men for life. Despite the turn of two centuries, the same no-frills mission remains today, a school intent on nurturing young men with a sense of vocation, citizenship, and civic responsibility. Saint Patrick welcomes 9 th through 12 th grade students of all religious beliefs, varying academic abilities, and diverse ethnic and economic backgrounds. Ninety-seven percent of our students go on to college.
