Located in the heart of Webster Groves, you’ll find the unique experience that is Nerinx Hall High School. Nerinx is more than a college-preparatory school. We are an enriching Catholic education that shapes, and is shaped, by our extraordinary students. We are guided by the Loretto values of faith, community, justice and respect. We challenge our students to know themselves and their world, to believe wholeheartedly that diversity enriches and trust empowers, and to answer the call to deliberate Christian action. In answering that challenge, our students become independent thinkers united by strong convictions, as enthusiastic about the questions as they are about the answers. In this community of learners, students develop a respect for differences of opinion, discover how to best articulate their own views, and believe in each other’s potential. Our students engage in experiences to help them develop self-assurance, creativity, and balance in a constantly changing world. Our faculty believe education should be thought-provoking and inspiring. The opinions and viewpoints of students are valued and encouraged in every classroom. In four years, Nerinx students become independent thinkers who are passionate about sharing their talents and voices with the world. They’re self-assured and find strength in their faith and each other. They learn, laugh, and form friendships that last far beyond graduation.
