Chicago Catholic High Schools - The Facts

The following Catholic High Schools in the Chicago area that have gone COED:

1. Gordon Tech
2. Loyola Academy
3. Saint Viatar
4. Fenwick
5. St. Ignatius

Catholic High Schools that have remained all boys schools:

1. Brother Rice
2. Leo
3. Mount Carmel
4. Saint Rita
5. Saint Laurence
6. Hales Franciscan

This information is not complete yet, but I find it interesting that both Jesuit schools found it necessary to break tradition and go coed.

I have heard the excuse "demographics" used countless times as to why Loyola Academy, aka Wilmette Prep, went coed. With a population increase in the USA of 50 million in the last 25 years and many of those people Catholics, the demographic argument is a load of hogwash.

We all know the real reasons for the coed merged at Loyola: militant feminism and political correctness.
