History.
Bourgade Catholic High School is named after the Most Reverend Archbishop Peter Bourgade, a French missionary priest sent to the New Mexico-Arizona Territories in 1869 and the first Bishop
of the newly created Diocese of Tucson.
Bishop Green established Bourgade Catholic High School in 1962 to serve Catholic high school students on the west side of Phoenix. Marist priests were responsible for the principalship and taught the boys. The Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary Sisters assisted with administration and taught the girls. Principal Fr. John H. Hillmann, S.M., and Mother M. St. Rose, I.B.V.M., Vice-Principal for Girls, welcomed 179 freshmen (76 boys and 103 girls) on the brand new Bourgade High campus on
