Jean Francis Rivet High School, Vincennes Rivet High School, or simply Rivet High School is a private, Roman Catholic high school in Vincennes, Indiana. It is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Evansville.

Background

In 1924, the Gibault High School was built for Catholic males. It closed in 1935 but was reopened in 1947 as Central Catholic High School. Central Catholic became co-educational during the 1970-71 school year when it was joined with the all-female St. Rose Academy. The name was changed to Rivet High School, in honor of Jesuit priest, Jean Francis Rivet. Rivet had been paid by President Washington to run a school in Vincennes.
