Latin School of Indianapolis

In its third academic year, the Latin School moved into dedicated facilities, consisting of four classrooms attached to the Holy Rosary Church at 520 Stevens Street.

[citation needed] Father Joseph D. Brokhage (S.T.D., ordained 1939, Monsignor 1964) served as both rector of the school and pastor of Holy Rosary parish.

Under his leadership, the school grew steadily and added a large wing of classrooms, a recreation room and a gymnasium/auditorium along Stevens Street.

An ambitious program was launched in 1963 to build a group of dormitories for out-of-town students.

The school attained a high degree of academic rigor and boasted a classical-style curriculum along with Church related subjects.
