[edit] History
Regis High School was originally known as St. Patrick’s High School. In 1914, Father A.B.C. Dunne added a two-year high school to St. Patrick’s grade school. A third year was added in 1919. Monsignor Casper Dowd, Father Dunne’s successor, began the construction of a high school and gymnasium which housed a four year high school program.
In the early 1950’s the four year school was not large enough to serve the number of prospective students in the four Eau Claire area parishes (St. Patrick’s, St. James the Greater, Immaculate Conception, and St. Olaf) and the decision was made to construct a new building. When the commitment was made for the new building on September 24, 1951, the name of the high school was changed to Regis. The new building was in use for the 1953-54 school year.
A full-time development director was added in the mid 1970’s to raise additional monies. A Regis foundation was established. The enrollment of Catholic students from outside Eau Claire increased as well as the number of non-Catholic students.
During the 1997-98 school year, Bishop Raymond Burke created the Catholic Area Schools of the Eau Claire Deanery (C.A.S.E.) to unite the Catholic schools in the Eau Claire Area. The seventh and eighth grade classes from Immaculate Conception and St. Patrick’s Schools were moved into Regis High School.[2]
Later the sixth grade was added to Regis high school during the 2007-2008 school year, from Immaculate Conception.
