Founded in 1887, Gonzaga Preparatory School is a Catholic, Jesuit high school (grades 9-12) in Spokane committed to forming compassionate leaders grounded in the values of service, justice, and faith. As a college prep community, the school challenges students to grow academically, spiritually, and personally. Through retreats, liturgies, service opportunities, and a commitment to justice, students are known, supported, and invited into deeper spirituality.

The school emphasizes rigorous academics, offering honors, AP, and college‑credit courses through partnerships with Gonzaga University and Eastern Washington University. Outside the classroom, 85% of students participate in athletics, clubs, or activities, and student-athletes compete in 20 sports across 57 teams. From the arts to robotics to campus ministry, every student can find their place.

Campus safety and student well-being are prioritized through a secure, welcoming environment where families can feel confident their children are supported and protected.

Gonzaga Prep’s legacy runs deep—alumni serve as leaders in Spokane and beyond, carrying forward a tradition of excellence, faith, and service that spans generations. The strength of this network creates a powerful sense of belonging and pride for students and families alike.

Applications for incoming freshmen are due in January each year, with additional space-available admissions considered after the deadline. The school welcomes students from diverse backgrounds, and more than 60% of families receive financial aid or scholarships. Transfers are also welcome. Families relocating to Spokane are encouraged to reach out to learn more about the admissions process and explore available options.
