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

I heard that Visi an SR are going coed too.

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”.

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.

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...

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?

My sons attended Gonzaga. How I wish there was a Jesuit HS for my daughter.

My observation is they did it based on financials.

Historically Jesuits educated boys -
Sisters educated Girls

The church changes the model only when they can't find enough boys to do what they need. Where I grew up, they allowed girls to be alter servers only when the class of 5th grade boys was so awful - they could not allow them to lead and train new alter servers. They taught the girls the roles - did not allow them to serve - and had the girls teach the new class. Only when someone called out them out - did they let the girls become alter servers.

It would be very enlightened of Gonzaga leadership to create a coed school.... but it is all men in charge so that is not going to happen until there is some scandal - oh wait!

I don’t want Gonzaga to go coed; i just want a coed Jesuit HS for my daughter.

Maybe girls would have had the courage to stop vandalism!

The Jesuits know men don't contribute $$ to girls schools so why create a girls Jesuit school.

Aren't the Jesuits highly gay? Do the math.
