History
St. Gregory Episcopal School was established in 1962 by the Rev. R. L. Whitehouse and Gordon L. Baker. Founded as an outreach ministry of the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany, the school shared space with the church and its parish hall which limited enrollment due to issues of space. In August of 2002 St. Gregory's moved to a shuttered school building in Chicago's North Lawndale community. The expanded space allowed the realization of a Kindergarten, Computer Lab, Library, Lunchroom and a small parking lot that doubles as a playground. In many ways, we became a brand new school, and we are still evolving.The vision of its founders, and the leaders who have followed, has made it possible for almost 2,000 boys to attend St. Gregory's. The school offers a rigorous academic curriculum, small class size (no more than 15 students per classroom), guidance and shepherding through the high school selection and application process; and counseling for students and their families when necessary.
