A Proud History: LaSalle and Regis High Schools

Cedar Rapids has enjoyed a long, proud history of Catholic secondary education. Along with the former Immaculate Conception and St. Patrick High Schools, LaSalle and Regis High Schools laid the foundation for academic excellence, spiritual development, and leadership and service that continue to be the cornerstones of our mission today. Xavier High School was founded in 1998, created through the merger of LaSalle High School and Regis High School. We are privileged to be a part of this rich tradition of Catholic secondary education.
