The Choice between high schools boils

down to the answer of one question: “what will

you be?” If you want the opportunity to get

involved in every facet of school, if you want to

feel a part of a family, if you want to be challenged

and if you want to grow in your faith – then you

will Be a Spartan.

The Difference you will see at

Roger Bacon is a coeducational environment with

a truly diverse student body. This allows you to

learn in an environment that you will experience

at your university and in your career. The size of

Roger Bacon is purposefully maintained so you

can flourish in the classroom, extracurriculars

and athletics. You will not focus on one aspect

of student life, but many.

The Commitment to

Franciscan education makes Roger Bacon

unique. You will be a part of the only Franciscan

high school in Cincinnati. As a Franciscan you

will be an instrument of change and herald of

peace, reaching out to all people through service.

Our faculty, staff and students will engage your

faith on a personal level.

The Benefit of a Roger Bacon

education is getting in to the college of your

choice. 96% percent of our students further

their education in colleges and universities

around the country and enter with the academic

and moral foundation to succeed. As a student

at Roger Bacon you will be guided in one of

our rigorous academic tracks and have the

opportunity to travel the world with our

Assisi Scholars Program.

The Family you will join has a rich

tradition and legacy. As soon as you walk

through the iconic front doors you will feel at

home. Every teacher and every classmate will

know your name – you will not be just another

student in a crowded school. During sporting

events you will join the best student section

in the city, the Spartan Army, and cheer your

team to victory.
