OUR SCHOOL

Reitz Memorial is a comprehensive school including grades 9 through 12. It is an inter-parochial Catholic High School operating under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Evansville. It exists to inspire and educate students to their highest potential. We combine academic excellence and a wide range of extracurricular activities in a supportive, family-like, Christ-centered, Catholic environment. All students are empowered to grow academically and spiritually, placing value on ethical and social responsibility. Our current students, recent graduates, and 10,000+ alumni demonstrate how a Reitz Memorial education prepares our students for success in college and in life.

New for 2026 – 2027 School Year:

Beginning with the 2026-2027 School Year, Reitz Memorial will move to a four-and-a-half-day academic school week. Classes Monday-Thursday will run from 7:30AM – 2:50PM, with five classes and LINK (previously our homeroom period) each day. Classes are 70 minutes, and LINK is 35 minutes. Teachers have four classes and one plan each day.

Fridays will be shortened, with school beginning at 7:30AM and ending at 11:40AM. All five classes will be 35 minutes in length, with a 50-minute homeroom. This is the first year of our shift to move towards a formational experience on Fridays, with this being year 0. Each subsequent year we will build out formational experiences for our students and staff on specific Fridays, to support their wholistic formation.
