Background
Cardinal Ritter Prep opened on September 6, 1979. It is named for Cardinal Joseph Ritter, Archbishop of St. Louis in the mid-20th century. From 1977–1978, a community representative task force was established by the Board of Catholic Education of the St. Louis Archdiocese to study the future existence of a Catholic school in the old Labouré location in North St. Louis. Arrangements to establish Cardinal Ritter College Prep High School as a co-educational college preparatory high school began in August 1979.
On May 18, 2003, Cardinal Justin Rigali dedicated the new Cardinal Ritter Preparatory High School adjacent to the Saint Louis University campus. The school opened for students in August 2003.[2] Ritter Prep is ranked in the top 50% among the large private high schools in Missouri.[3]
