 tri-state area. The school's motto, "Deo et Patriae" (For God and Country), speaks to its intention to produce a man committed to devoting the advantages of his education to the service of society and the underprivileged. As such, all students at Regis receive a tuition-free education.

History


Regis High School was founded in 1914 through the financial bequest of a single anonymous benefactress, who stipulated that her gift be used to build a Jesuit high school providing a free education for Catholic boys, with special consideration given to those who could not otherwise afford a Catholic education. The foundress and her family were the sole financial supporters of the school until the late 1960s, when they reluctantly agreed to allow alumni and friends of Regis to contribute to the school's financial support. Today, Regis is still able to provide an outstanding education in the Jesuit tradition free of charge through the generosity of its alumni and friends. In February 2009, The Princeton Review's president Michael Perik had supposedly implied that he considered Regis High School the best high school in the nation, though that statement remains unconfirmed.

Admission


In order to qualify for admission to Regis, a student must be an 8th grade male living in the Tri-State Region

, a baptized Roman Catholic (although actual faith is optional), have an elementary school GPA of 95% or better, and have no history of serious disciplinary problems. Once these criteria are met, he must fill out an application, including the composition of a short essay. Then, he must sit for Regis's own admission test. Of the approximately 1,000 students who sit for this test every year, only about 250 are selected for interviews with 2 faculty members or alumni. Finally, around 135 students are admitted to Regis High School.

Education for Young Men


Students must complete a curriculum in subjects such as science (requiring study in biology, chemistry, and physics), mathematics

 (one of Latin, French, German, Spanish or Chinese, for three years, an optional fourth year), fine arts (studio art, film, art history and music history, and optionally architecture, with jazz band offered as an extracurricular activity for credit), two years of computer technology, and four years of physical education. The Science Research Project and the History Research Project are mentor-based optional credited courses requiring original research and lengthy theses. The curriculum is challenging because of the advanced level at which subjects are presented to students, using college-level books and, in many classes, exceeding the requirements of the Advanced Placement curriculum. Due to the advanced curriculum, students are exempted from taking the NY State Regents exam.

Athletics


Sports currently available to Regis students include baseball (on the junior varsity and varsity levels), basketball (on the freshman, junior varsity, and varsity levels), cross country, soccer (on the junior varsity and varsity levels), indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball (on the varsity level). The school is a member of the Catholic High School Athletic Association

(C.H.S.A.A.). Regis's athletic teams have seen success in recent years, including several City Championships in their division at the junior varsity and varsity levels. In 2005, the year after winning the city championship, the Varsity basketball team won the B division State Federation Championship in Glens Falls, NY, beating the best of the private and public schools of New York. Between 2006 and 2008, the Regis Baseball team, which has played in the A division for only 6 years, finished 3rd, 2nd, and 3rd respectively. This streak of top 3 finishes is a feat no other CHSAA A division school has accomplished since Regis joined the league.

Prior to the 2007-2008 season, golf and tennis were offered. Colonel Gary Tocchet, current principal of Regis and the former coach of West Point's fencing teams, catalyzed the formation of a Regis fencing team, which could possibly compete in the 2008-2009 season.

Regis utilizes several athletic fields and complexes, including Central Park, Randall's Island and the Armory on West 168th Street.

Extracurricular activities


Students who attend Regis have many extracurricular activities to select from in addition to athletics. The school carries with it a strong debate

The Hearn is atypically large for a high school debate team (roughly one-fifth of the student body is on the team), and is considered one of the best high school teams in America. The Hearn's most notable achievements are having won 18 state championships in the past 24 years, having had at some point national champions in every single speech and debate category, producing 5 national collegiate debate champions and one world collegiate champion. Plans are under way to form a $2.5 million endowment for the debate society's exclusive use.

There are also various publications that students can work on, such as the newspaper (The Owl) and yearbook (The Regian) as well as several literary publications. Regis Repertory stages a musical in the fall and a drama or comedy in the spring, relying on the efforts of over 90 students in the cast, stage crew, business staff, and band. Recreational clubs include the Flag Football club, Billiards Club, Games Club, Rock Music Club, Indoor Soccer Club, various cultural and special interests/political clubs, and more. The Owl, the school's student newspaper, interviewed CIA Leak case prosecutor and alumnus Patrick J. Fitzgerald in 2006. The subsequent article was linked on the Drudge Report
