DePaul College Prep

“You’re going to continue to find your people, you’re going to love hard, you’re going to write true, you’re going to collapse the space. Because nobody can do it quite like you, and we need you.” Words of wisdom from DePaul Prep English faculty member Ms. Jessie Foley!

Ms. Foley recently had the distinct honor of delivering the commencement address to the Illinois English and Creative Writing graduates at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. We are so lucky to have such inspiring, talented educators at DePaul College Prep!

We are incredibly grateful for our amazing DePaul Prep Parent Association! To celebrate the end of the 2025-2026 school year, they hosted a wonderful luncheon for our faculty and staff, featuring delicious food from D’Agostino's (DAGS) and sweet treats from Misericordia's Hearts & Flour Bakery. Thank you for always showing our staff so much love and support!

After receiving the blessing of His Eminence, Cardinal Cupich at our groundbreaking ceremony on April 9, our amazing crew from Bulley & Andrews went to work prepping the site of DePaul College Prep's new indoor athletic complex. This week, the crew began pouring concrete for the building's footings.

To mark this blessed occasion, the first of five Miraculous Medals was placed in the concrete foundation that will become the main entrance to the complex. The Miraculous Medal is a Vincentian legacy dating to 1830, when the Blessed Mother appeared to St. Catherine Laboure, a Daughter of Charity, the order co-founded by St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Marillac. By embedding the medals in the foundation we invoke Mary's grace and protection over everyone who is working on this project and who will step though our doors.
