Reitz Memorial High School

Innovation was on full display this week at Memorial!

From building, creating, experimenting, and problem-solving, our Camp Invention campers spent the week diving into hands-on STEM activities that challenged their imaginations and sparked curiosity. Throughout the week, these young innovators explored science, engineering, creativity, and teamwork while discovering that learning can be both exciting and fun.

As Camp Invention wraps up today, we're grateful to the dedicated educators, volunteers, and families who helped make this incredible week possible. Most importantly, we're proud of every camper who embraced new challenges, asked big questions, and brought their ideas to life.

The future is bright, and judging by what we saw this week, it's in great hands.

That’s a wrap on the 2025-2026 school year at Reitz Memorial High School!

Today marked the final day of finals, the final bell, and the close of another incredible year filled with memories, achievements, friendships, faith, and Tiger pride.

To the Class of 2026… thank you. Thank you for the leadership, the traditions, the memories, and the legacy you leave behind. Once a Tiger, always a Tiger.
To all of our students, faculty, staff, families, alumni, and supporters… thank you for making this year special.

Now it’s time to recharge, relax, and enjoy a well-deserved summer break.

Four years. Countless memories. Lifelong friendships. A place that becomes part of who you are.

As the Class of 2026 begins to close this chapter at Reitz Memorial High School, we asked our seniors a simple question:

“What has Memorial meant to you?”

The answers were filled with laughter, faith, growth, victories, challenges overcome, unforgettable moments, and the people who made this place feel like home.

From Friday night lights and championship moments… to retreats, classrooms, hallways, lunches with friends, and teachers who became mentors… Memorial is more than a school. It’s a family.

To our seniors: thank you for leaving your mark on Memorial. Your story is now forever woven into the history of this school, and we cannot wait to see where God leads you next.

Leave a word of encouragement for the Class of 2026 as they prepare for graduation!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the incredible moms in the Memorial family!

Today, we celebrate the women who cheer the loudest, pray the hardest, sacrifice endlessly, and love unconditionally. From early morning drop-offs to late-night homework help, from sideline celebrations to quiet moments of encouragement, your impact reaches far beyond what words can capture.

In this special video, our students share why they appreciate their own mothers and the many ways they have shaped their lives, faith, and future. Their words are a reminder that behind every student is a mother, grandmother, guardian, or mother figure helping guide them every step of the way.

Thank you for the love, strength, faith, and support you pour into your families and our Memorial community each and every day.

Happy Mother’s Day, Tigers!
We’d love to hear from you… drop a comment and tell us something special about your mom or a favorite memory with her!

Some stories are polished… others are alive. And the best ones? They sound a little like turning pages, echoing hallways, and history being rediscovered in real time.

“A Living History of Memorial High School” is here.

Created by our dedicated Scriptorium Club, this documentary dives into the early roots of Catholic education in Evansville and the founding of Reitz Memorial High School in 1925. Built from hours of research through historic documents, yearbooks, and archives, this project uncovers stories and details you won’t find anywhere else.

And yes… you might notice a few background sounds, some evolving audio levels, and moments that feel wonderfully unfiltered. That’s part of the charm. This isn’t just a video… it’s history in motion, carefully pieced together by students who care deeply about preserving our legacy.

Also included is a one-of-a-kind timeline mapping the journey to Memorial’s founding, inspired by the London Underground—tracing the paths of Assumption and Holy Trinity, and the movement of the Sisters who helped shape it all.

Ever wondered how Memorial came to be? Step into the story.

A special thank you to our Scriptorium students and Mr. Lismore for bringing our past to life in such a meaningful way.
