What Andrean High School does

Andrean High School is a private Catholic, co-educational college-preparatory secondary school located at 5959 Broadway in Merrillville, Indiana. Founded in 1959 and operating under the governance of the Diocese of Gary, the school serves students and families seeking faith-based secondary education in northwest Indiana. Its core academic offering includes Core 40 and AHD diploma tracks, dual credit, honors, and AP courses, supported by a 19:1 student-to-teacher ratio, a 1:1 Chromebook program with on-site tech support, five on-campus computer labs, and a guidance department that includes college counseling via Naviance and SAT/ACT preparation. The school supplements academics with 19 athletic programs, the Andrean Theatre Company performing arts troupe, and an experiential learning/internship program, and reports a 100% college acceptance rate for graduates. It is accredited by Cognia and affiliated with the Diocese of Gary.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition and a $300 per-student annual technology fee, processed through the FACTS (formerly RenWeb) family portal with MFA-enabled access. Donations and fundraising form a significant secondary revenue stream, including an annual Day of Giving (5/9), SGO Giving through Scholarships for Education Choice, planned giving/endowment contributions, and events such as the 30th annual Golf Classic. The school maintains a multi-channel marketing presence (website, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Niner News email newsletter) and an active alumni network of approximately 9,500, roughly half of whom are connected through the official alumni Facebook group. In June 2026, the campus sustained tornado damage, triggering a recovery effort supported by Tonn and Blank Construction, Big Shoulders Fund, Crossroads YMCA, and the Merrillville Police Department; the school remained operational for the upcoming academic year. Leadership includes Principal Jaycob Knazur, Director of Finance Melissa Miller, Director of Development Kylie Kerr, Director of Technology Anthony Bondi, Director of Facilities James Myers, and Director of Marketing and Communications Brendan Ryan. No equity ownership, venture capital, or private equity backing is present; Andrean is a nonprofit educational institution under Catholic institutional governance.
