Driscoll Catholic High School

Spring Open House on Sunday, May 3 is cancelled. For further information please call (630) 543-6310. MESSAGE FROM THE CHRISTIAN BROTHERS: After years of efforts to save Driscoll Catholic High School, the Christian Brothers of the Midwest realized that we do not have the resources to keep the school open. The realities of rapidly declining enrollment and the need for a multi-million dollar investment are inevitable. We have made the painful decision to close Driscoll at the end of this school year in June. Needless to say, this is a heartbreaking decision for our students, families, faculty and staff and the Christian Brothers. Counselors will be available to help students during this difficult time.. We are also helping to organize a recruiting day for students to learn about other Catholic high schools in the area. During this time of transition, one thing remains constant: all Driscoll students will be able to receive a Catholic education from other high schools in the Diocese of Joliet, which are offering priority placement for them in the coming school year. This ensures that the tradition of an academically rigorous education grounded in Catholic values can continue – which is the most important goal we as a community can have for our young people. We know that the Save Driscoll group was holding a fundraising campaign. We assume that the money they raised, which they have been holding in escrow, will be returned to the donors. Check their Web site for information. We are humbled and grateful for the outpouring of community support and prayers for Driscoll Catholic High School over these past few weeks. We thank our students and their families, faculty and staff, alumni, board, and community supporters for 43 years of heritage and a proud legacy.
