Any truth to rumor that Gonzaga is making plans to go coed?

There are plenty of Jesuit colleges.

So by that logic it would be fine to make Gonzaga an all girls Jesuit school and allow our young men to get Jesuit Educations in college.

Gonzaga is not going co-ed.

It’s not being discussed or considered.

But it does point to the fact that Jesuits are men for other men. NOT 1 Jesuit girls school in our area.

Well, that’s just the way it is.

The likely impact of Gonzaga going co-ed is just one of many reasons the Jesuits would never consider doing it.

This is just one person on here mad that she can’t send her daughters to Gonzaga. As the song says, “Yo Can’t Always Get What You Want”.

To the person asking this question … when were you last at the school? Because where exactly do you think they are going to put all the new students if they admit a cohort of girls? The school is full brim to brim as it is. They would need space for the new students as well as to double-up on bathrooms, etc. In order to make the space the school would need to tear down its existing buildings and start building a skyscraper.

The Catholic Church needs to broaden their thinking on the role of women in the church. I would think that the Jesuits should be the ones leading this.

There are a number of Jesuit high schools that have gone coed. It isn't unheard of.

They can admit less boys. Maybe they can call St. Johns and find out the logistics.

I can't believe the girls have no options like Oakcrest School, Georgetown Visitation, Academy of the Holy Cross, Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart, Connelly School of the Holy Child, or Elizabeth Seton High School, any others. Plus, don't forget SJC, DJO, Paul VI, Good Counsel, Bishop McNamara, Archbishop Carroll, St Mary's Ryken, Bishop Ireton, and St. Vincent Pallotti High School. Those Catholics really exclude the girls...

St. Johns went co-ed because of declining enrollment.

It is not about having Catholic School options - it is about a Jesuit Education. Why do we accept options that are close - but not the same for our daughters?

The PP said they couldn't figure out bathrooms... so I suggest they talk to somebody who is smarter about it.

You said the Catholic Church (which offers tons of options) needs to broaden its thinking, not the Society of Jesus. Ask the Jesuits to start a new girls or co-ed school in DC. Send your daughter to Christo Rey in Baltimore if you really care.

It won’t be full to the brim once they do the right thing and expel all the vandals. Oh wait...
