Althoff Catholic High School's mission is to educate young people, in the Catholic tradition, to lead successful, faith-filled lives. This mission is fulfilled through a focus on faith formation, robust academics, and opportunities for spiritual, intellectual, cultural, and physical growth.
Althoff Catholic High School was founded in honor of Bishop Henry J. Althoff (1873-1947) in 1964 to serve the growing Catholic community in the area. The school was established to provide a new, co-ed environment for students from the diocese's grade schools, consolidating previous schools and building on the long history of Catholic education in southwestern Illinois.
Our goal is simple: prepare our students for college and life after graduation. We accomplish this through academic rigor, caring and dedicated faculty, and a nurturing environment that concentrates on finding each student's potential and maximizing their ability. We have a modern approach to education, while staying rooted in the rich tradition of our Catholic faith. Our success is their success!
