Empowering Minds, enriching souls

we are gibault

OUR MISSION

Gibault Catholic High School, a Catholic educational community, celebrates the dignity and uniqueness of every person, cultivates lifelong learning and the pursuit of excellence, fosters faith, inspires commitment to justice and service, and works to develop a life-affirming relationship to the world.

Enrichment fridays

Enrichment Fridays provide Gibault students and staff with intentional time away from the traditional school day to support personal, spiritual, and academic growth. During the 2026-2027 school year, students will have nine scheduled Fridays off, offering opportunities to volunteer in the community, attend Mass, participate in college visits, gain work experience, and recharge. These days are designed to promote balance, enrichment, and continued development beyond the classroom.

.....................................................................

"These days will allow students to be out in the world - recharge, exploring opportunities and interests, learning self-reliance, trying new things, expressing themselves, working toward a vocation. Enrichment Fridays are a chance to live out the lessons we are teaching them" - Haley Kovarik, Assistant Principal, Class of 2010.
