Dear Parents,

Our mission is consistent with the mission of the Church, to present the message of salvation proclaimed by Our Lord Jesus Christ and contained in the Gospel. Our children are a gift from a generous God and providing a Catholic education is our goal. The world today is confusing to our young people. Providing a safe and supportive environment where they can make wise choices can help them become better human beings. Leo provides a place where they can develop their spiritual, intellectual, personal, social, and physical objectives.

Leo Catholic High School was founded by the Irish Christian Brothers in 1926 and named after Pope Leo XIII. In its long history, Leo educated young men from the south side of Chicago and suburbs many of whom have become leaders in every walk of life. Today, Leo is a high school of the Archdiocese of Chicago that affords an opportunity for a young man to grow. For 84 years the school provided quality education and training to young men who continue to succeed in college and beyond. Through our program of spiritual formation, Leo men are given a foundation on which they can structure a life of service.

I thank the many dedicated parents and volunteers for their time and effort in providing an enriching place for our students. I encourage those families considering which high school to select to seriously consider Leo Catholic High School as an option for your son’s high school education. The annual tuition at Leo covers only a portion of the actual costs for this excellent education. Through the generosity of the Alumni Association and countless benefactors, students are able to afford an outstanding education rooted in God’s love. A personal visit can be arranged through the school by calling Mr. Michael Holmes, Director of Admissions, at 773-224-9600, extension 212.

Sincerely,
Philip G. Mesina
School Principal
