Founded in 1917, the mission of Cheverus High School is to prepare young men
and women to be people for others by fostering intellectual, spiritual, physical, and
personal excellence, according to the nearly 500-year-old Jesuit tradition. The school
is among the most selective secondary schools in the state of Maine and is recognized
for its uncompromising academic, athletic, and co-curricular excellence. Cheverus
is committed to the Ignatian vision of “magis,” which challenges the entire school
community to seek the “greater good” and to embody this by becoming men and
women for others.
