Valle Catholic High School is a private, Roman Catholic high school in Sainte Genevieve, Missouri. It is located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Louis.

Background

Valle Catholic was established in 1925 by the Sisters of St. Joseph. It serves residents in Sainte Genevieve County.[2] In 1925, Reverend C. L. Tourenhout asked the Sisters of St. Joseph to organize a high school. They granted the request and opened the school in the stone structure south of the church at DuBourg and Market Streets. It was named Valle High School after Felix and Odile Valle, benefactors to the parish. A standard four-year course of studies was adopted, and Valle was granted accreditation by the state of Missouri.[3]
