[edit] History
Marist Catholic High School had its beginnings in a single room of the old St. Mary's Elementary School located on the corner of 11th and Lincoln in Eugene. The first Freshman class enrolled in 1918, and four years later, seven young women comprised the first graduating class. The school was staffed and operated by the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary who arrived in Oregon from Montreal, Canada in 1859.[...] On May 23, 1967, ground breaking ceremonies launched the construction of Marist Catholic High School. By Monsignor Edmund Murnane September of 1968, on what just a few years previously had been 30 acres of lush Oregon farmland along the banks of the Willamette River, stood a spacious modern facility dedicated to the continuing Christian education of youth. The school was then staffed by nine Marist Brothers, eight Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary and a complement of lay men and women. [...] From 1968 until 1993, the Marist Brothers, a Roman Catholic Congregation, administered the school for the Archdiocese of Portland. In 1992, the Marist Brothers decided to withdraw from their ministry in Eugene due to its personnel commitments in Chicago, Boston and New York.[...] From 1993 through 1998, a priest of the Dominican Order served as principal. Currently, a lay professional serves as principal of the school. Marist Catholic High School, accredited by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges, is part of the education system of the Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon.[1]
