Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School (CSCHS), is a private, Catholic, coeducational, college prep secondary school located in Oregon, Ohio. It is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Toledo.
The groundbreaking for the school was performed on September 21, 1960 by then-bishop of Toledo, Bishop George J. Rehring. The first class entered the following fall. The school is named for Samuel Cardinal Stritch, the second bishop of Toledo during the years of 1921 through 1930, and eventually cardinal archbishop of Chicago.
On the school's website it states, "A twenty-acre site was chosen for the East Side area’s first co-institutional high school." One side of the school was originally reserved for boys’ classes, while the other was for girls’, with co-educational classes being held in the center sections. (The separate wings were integrated in 1971 when all classes became co-educational.) The first principal was Monsignor Michael Walz, who initiated the “Stritch Family” concept.
Succeeding principals include: Rev. John A. Thomas, Rev. Frank Nieset, Sister Louis de Montfort, Rev. Frank Murd and Rev. Robert J. Yeager, E.D. In 1997, the Bishop appointed Rev. John Stites as the first President of the school, and Mr. Timothy Mahoney was assigned the next principal. Mahoney became the first lay person to be assigned principal of the school.
In 2004, Father David Reinhart was appointed president of Cardinal Stritch High School. During his time at Cardinal Stritch High School, Father Reinhart has led an unprecedented upgrade to campus facilities and has given vision to a new way of thinking about Catholic education in light of a theology of stewardship. Under Father Reinhart's leadership, Cardinal Stritch High School has been recognized as one of the top 50 Catholic high schools by the National Catholic High School Honor Roll.
