Guerin Preparatory High School was a private, Roman Catholic high school in River Grove, Illinois, United States. It was located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago.

Contents

Guerin was established in 1962 as Mother Theodore Guerin High School, an all-girls school, by the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. The sisters named the school after their congregation's foundress, Saint Mother Theodore Guerin. [3] The school was renamed [4] when it became coeducational in 2004 and absorbed the students from the all-male Holy Cross High School after that school closed. [5] Holy Cross High School had been opened in 1961.

Guerin closed permanently after the 2019–20 academic year due to declining enrollment, increased need in financial aid for students, and lower than expected fundraising results. [6]

Athletics

The Guerin Prep Crusaders/Gators were members of two athletic conferences: men (Crusaders) compete as a member of the Metro Suburban Conference, while the women (Gators) compete in both the Metro Suburban Conference and Suburban Christian Conference. Formerly, the all-boys Holy Cross High School competed in the East Suburban Catholic Conference until consolidating with the all-girls Mother Guerin High School in 2004. [7]

The school sponsored interscholastic sports teams for both men and women in basketball, volleyball, cross country, soccer, golf, and track & field. The school sponsors teams for men in baseball, football, and wrestling, while there are teams for women in softball. [8]

The school competed in state championship tournaments sponsored by the Illinois High School Association.

Guerin Prep has achieved memorable success in several sports. The following teams are notable for success in their respective sports:
