## History[edit]

In 1932, the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word opened the all-girls high school in response to a need for the education of young women. The first year, the school enrolled thirty-five students. Three additional buildings and seventy-five years later, the school is now home to about five hundred students.[2]

## Athletics[edit]

Cheerleading, soccer, volleyball, and basketball are sports in which the school has won state championships.[citation needed] The school also offers a variety of sports including softball, tennis, golf, cross country, track, dance, and swimming. The Red Knights' most recent state championship title was at the 2021 Missouri State High School Basketball Championship game against Webster Groves on March 20, 2021, at the JQH Arena in Springfield, Missouri. They won with a score of 58-37[3] bringing the school their fourth state championship title in a decade.
