Established in 1969, through the consolidation of Chartrand High School and Kennedy Memorial High School, Roncalli today serves over 1,100 students. The majority of students are enrolled in a college preparatory curriculum but the school offers a comprehensive curriculum for students of all levels of ability. Since the initiation of the special needs resource program in 1993, over 150 students with a variety of learning disabilities are served through our award winning STARS and Life Academy programs. The high school has been recognized four times as a Blue Ribbon School by the United States Department of Education and the service program earned the “Set A Good Example Award” from the Concerned Businessmen’s Association while the Department of Education bestowed a Special Emphasis Award for the Service Learning program. Roncalli was recognized with an Innovation in Education Award by the National Catholic Education Association in 2012. Most recently, Roncalli was named a Four Star School.
Roncalli High School is an interparochial archdiocesan Catholic high school. The term interparochial refers to the fact that the school receives financial and pastoral support, along with the majority of its students, from the 14 parishes that comprise the South Deanery of the Indianapolis Archdiocese. The school is named Roncalli in honor of Cardinal Angelo Roncalli, who, upon being elected pope by the College of Cardinals in 1958, took the name of Pope John XXIII. Blessed Pope John was canonized a Saint on April 27, 2014 and is now known as Saint John XXIII.
