Welcome
"As President of Boston College High School, I am privileged to lead this Jesuit, Catholic, all-boys institution, where our dynamic model marries academic rigor with an environment that nurtures individual differences and fosters whole-person growth—mind, body, and soul. Our mission is to develop bold, self-aware young men with a deep sense of responsibility that extends beyond themselves, empowering them to become 21st-century global citizens ready to succeed in a complex, interconnected world.
Through "Vision 2026," we are shaping the future of BC High with a focus on four pillars: delivering a powerful formative student experience, deepening our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, ensuring access and affordability, and maintaining financial stability and sustainability. A notable highlight is the forthcoming wellness complex, made possible by a historic $49 million gift from Pat Cadigan '52, which will enhance our commitment to student health and well-being.
At BC High, our students are prepared to find their calling and answer it passionately. On our campus, in our community, and around the world, they serve, lead, and strive to make a difference in the lives of others. In a constantly changing world, we pray that some things remain steadfast in their lives: their conviction and commitment to justice, their conscience informed by compassion, and their courage to work for the greater glory of God.
Together, let us continue to inspire and transform our young men into leaders who will set the world on fire."
—Grace Cotter Regan, P'12
President, Boston College High School
Boston College High School is a Jesuit, Catholic college preparatory school in Boston, Massachusetts serving grades 7 through 12.
We strive to challenge our students to become young men of integrity, educated in faith and for justice, committed to academic excellence and service to others. As a Jesuit, Catholic school, we strive to reflect the diversity of our church and community.
Our mission since 1863 has been to form leaders of competence, conscience and compassion who seek to do all things ad majorem Dei gloriam – for the greater glory of God.
The Arrupe Division: A Strong Start in Grades 7 & 8
Named in honor of Father Pedro Arrupe, SJ, the Arrupe Division at BC High provides a values-driven middle school experience for boys in grades 7 and 8. Rooted in the Jesuit tradition of cura personalis (care for the whole person), our program is designed to nurture curiosity, resilience, and moral character as students develop their minds and bodies.
Students benefit from a challenging academic curriculum, engaging co-curricular opportunities, and a strong sense of community that supports them as they grow intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually.
High School: Integrity, Scholarship, and Service
At BC High, our high school program builds upon the Jesuit values instilled in earlier years, guiding students through a rigorous college-preparatory curriculum that encourages critical thinking, leadership, and compassion for others.
Students in grades 9–12 are encouraged to explore their passions while deepening their understanding of justice and purpose. With individualized college counseling, service programs, and access to the cultural and academic resources in Boston and beyond, BC High empowers students to become confident global citizens prepared to make a difference in the world.
