St. Theodore Guerin High School or simply Guerin Catholic High School is a private Roman Catholic college-preparatory high school located in Noblesville, Indiana, a northern Indianapolis suburb. The school's mascot is the Golden Eagle and school colors are purple and gold. It is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lafayette in Indiana. The enrollment is mostly drawn from local suburban municipalities such as Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield, and Zionsville, as well as parts of northern Marion County and Kokomo, Indiana.
Founded in 2004, St. Theodore Guerin High School was named after the foundress of the Sisters of Providence, Saint Mother Théodore Guérin. Guerin Catholic was the first privately funded Catholic high school built in the state of Indiana in over thirty years. [4] The first graduating class in 2007 consisted of 25 students, with 100% matriculating into four-year colleges. [4]
In the fall of 2006, St. Theodore Guerin became the first Catholic high school in Greater Indianapolis to become a candidate to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program. [5]
St. Theodore Guerin has been recognized by The Cardinal Newman Society and the Catholic Education Honor Roll each year since 2008 as one of the United States "Top 50 Catholic High Schools." Guerin Catholic is one of only three Catholic high schools in the state of Indiana to receive this award. [6] Catholic high schools that receive the honor roll designation are marked by excellence in academics and the integration of Catholic identity throughout all aspects of their educational and extracurricular programs. Less than five percent of the Catholic high schools in the United States receive this recognition. [6]
The school is located on seventy-two acres, one mile north of 146th street and Gray road, in the heart of Hamilton County.

Daily Mass, Eucharistic adoration, and the Sacrament of Reconciliation are offered in the chapel for students, faculty, and staff.
In 2011, Guerin Catholic had a growing enrollment and was in need of additional academic classrooms. On November 23, the school's community gathered for the groundbreaking of a new academic wing. The east academic wing was completed in August 2014, adding 24 classrooms to the campus.
