The following is a list of schools operated by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago, which covers Cook and Lake counties, followed by a list of former high schools closed after 1959 and former K-8 schools closed after 1983.
An August 27, 2015 article by the Chicago Tribune refers to the Archdiocese of Chicago Office of Catholic Schools as the largest private school system in the United States.[1]
A wave of school closures after the 2014-2015 school year caused over 200 employees to change jobs and over 1,200 pupils to change schools.[2]
At the outset of the 2020/21 academic year, the archdiocese ran 160 elementary schools and three high schools. An additional eight Catholic elementary schools and 28 Catholic high schools that are not archdiocesan-run are located within the Archdiocese of Chicago.[3] As of 2015[update], the Superintendent of Catholic Schools is Jim Rigg, Ph.D.[1]
History
The school construction boom ended when Cardinal John Cody, archbishop at the time, decided to limit construction of Catholic schools in Lake County and suburban areas in Cook County.[4]
Between 1984 and 2004, the Office of Catholic Schools closed 148 schools and 10 school sites.[5] By 2005, over 50% of the Chicago Archdiocese Catholic schools that existed in 1966 no longer did.[4]
In 1985, Joseph Bernardin, then the head of the archdiocese, stated that as costs increased to operate Catholic schools, it was likely merging or closure would result.[6] In 1990 Bernardin stated that 18 schools were to close that year. He suggested that some parishes may change from having their own schools to having joint schools with other parishes, or regional schools.[7] Ultimately 25 schools closed in 1990. In 1994 an additional 24 were shuttered.[8] From 1990 to 2004, the number of Catholic schools shuttered exceeded 100.[9]
In January 2018, the archdiocese announced the closure of five of its schools.[10] In January 2020, the archdiocese announced the permanent closure of five of its other schools.[11] As of 2022, there are 33 Catholic high schools currently operating in Cook and Lake counties, seven all-girl high schools, seven all-boys high schools and 19 co-ed high schools.[12]
In 1994 Holy Name School, which had been facing a decline in the number of enrolled students, merged into Warde, and the former Holy Name became Warde School, Old St. Patrick's Campus so it could house the increasing number of students at Xavier.[13]
