Welcome to Rockhurst
Dear Friend,
Welcome to Rockhurst High School, the Jesuit college preparatory school in Kansas City. Thank you for visiting our home page. It is my pleasure to introduce you to the life and vitality that makes our school community a source of pride for over ninety years.
Rockhurst is part of a network of 47 other Jesuit high schools in the United States seeking to educate young men- and, in some instances, young women-for-others, tomorrow’s leaders. We are also part of a much larger worldwide network that traces its roots to the first school founded by St. Ignatius Loyola (founder of the Society of Jesus – the Jesuits) at Messina, Italy, in the year 1548.
Rockhurst High School serves the greater Kansas City metropolitan area by educating Ignatian leaders, “men-for-others,” in the Roman Catholic Jesuit college preparatory tradition. In the spirit of St. Ignatius, its goal is the formation of the whole person within a diverse and disciplined environment, as one who is open to growth, strives for academic excellence, is religious, loving, and committed to justice through service.
Whether you are a graduate, parent, or someone interested in learning more about the school, thank you for visiting this site. We warmly invite you to visit the campus in person. We are most anxious to show off our up-to-date facilities and to introduce you to our wonderful faculty and staff.
Sincerely,
Rev. Terrence A. Baum, SJ,
President
