History

The school was the dream of Fr. William Schmidt, SJ. Ordained on June 16, 1943, at the Jesuit training center West Baden College, Fr. Schmidt returned to Indiana 16 years later to organize a Jesuit high school in Indianapolis. The school was formally established in 1962. The city and the Society of Jesus would both provide for Brebeuf Jesuit during its early years.

In 2019, Charles C. Thompson, the Archbishop of Indianapolis, stated that the school would no longer be entitled to identify as Catholic, because administrators disobeyed him when renewing the contract of a teacher in a same-sex marriage. [4] On September 23 of the same year, the Holy See temporarily suspended Thompson's decree. [5]

Demographics

The demographic breakdown of the 816 students enrolled for the 2020–2021 school year was: [6]

The student to teacher ratio is 11:1 as of 2020. [8]

Athletics

The school has 29 athletic teams, ranging from cross country to the newest addition, men's volleyball. In 2009, Brebeuf Jesuit completed construction of the $7 million Mark G. Kite Wellness Center. [9] The 42,000-square-foot (3,900 m2) facility houses two weight rooms, three locker rooms, team meeting rooms, training room, gym, and athletic offices. [10]
