Dear Saint Viator Alumni,
It was wonderful seeing so many of you at recent events and reconnecting with the pride and spirit that make our community so special. As we look toward the future, I’d like to share a concise overview of our vision for Saint Viator’s on-campus athletic facilities, which I believe is an exciting next step in strengthening the legacy you helped build.
Over the past decade, we’ve made transformative investments in our students and campus by modernizing learning spaces, expanding opportunities in the arts and innovation, and fostering an environment where faith and fellowship flourish. Now, we’re ready for our next bold chapter: reimagining our campus with state-of-the-art athletic fields.
The
new facilities — including football, soccer, and lacrosse fields, tennis courts, and an eight-lane track — will enrich student life, enhance school spirit, and strengthen our faith community. They will serve as places where students discover their passions, develop resilience, and grow in character through teamwork, perseverance, and service to others.
These fields will also extend Saint Viator’s reach beyond our own walls, becoming a resource for local elementary and middle schools. We believe these new spaces will build connections, inspire future Lions, and reaffirm our role as a hub of Catholic education and fellowship in the Arlington Heights community.
Please keep in mind that we're also working to secure an off-campus site to build new baseball and softball facilities!
Our Ideal Timeline
- Mid-November 2025: Zoning application submitted to the Village of Arlington Heights
- January–February 2026: Village Board of Trustees meeting
If approved → Groundbreaking Fall 2026 - Fall 2027: New on-campus facilities open
Please note these dates may be adjusted based on approvals, design, construction factors, and fundraising milestones.
How You Can Support This Vision
As proud alumni, you are among Saint Viator’s most valued advocates. Your continued belief in our mission inspires future generations of Lions.
We’ll continue to keep you informed as plans move forward. Thank you for your ongoing support and for helping us carry forward the Viatorian legacy of faith, excellence, and service.
One Pride. One Community. One Legacy.
