Who We Are
// Our History
46 years of
Catholic Education means we
are committed to students acquiring the best Catholic college
preparatory education possible and reaffirming and strengthening
Christian values and morals.
The Clerics of St. Viator founded
Saint Viator High School as a school for young men in 1961 in an
effort to fulfill their commitment to the Christian education of
youth. In 1987 Saint Viator High School merged with Sacred Heart
of Mary in Rolling Meadows to become a co-educational institution.
While
demographic and cultural influences led to a coeducational
institution, the two schools had a long-standing history together
that included:
- shared
building space
- annual
musical
- educational
and social programs and activities – e.g. joint classes, dances,
etc.
- families with
students at both schools
- commitment to
quality college prep education in an atmosphere of care and
commitment based on Gospel values
In the years
that have passed, over 13,000 young men and women have
graduated from Saint Viator and Sacred Heart of Mary High Schools.
Today,
Saint Viator High School is often described as a place that "feels
like family" by those who walk through its doors. Welcoming over
1,000 students daily, Saint Viator exists as a comfortable, yet
challenging community in which students are valued and educated as
whole people. Classes are small enough for students to get to know
everyone, yet large enough to enable a competitive curriculum.
Teachers and staff are dedicated to the intellectual, physical,
spiritual and emotional growth of each student, providing the
attention, nurturing and support a successful academic career
requires.
Whether
in the classroom, on the stage, on the athletic field or on
retreat, our students are called to be supportive, caring
individuals celebrating faith, friendship and the achievements of
every member of the school community.
The Saint
Viator community values individuals for who they are and challenges
them to be all God calls them to be. We are a school where people
are more important than things and where the Spirit of God is
invited to be the center of our life.
Saint
Viator High School is a Catholic, college-preparatory community
called to provide religious formation and an academic program of
excellence to the young men and women of the northwest suburbs of
Chicago.
