In 1956 Regina began its faith filled academic mission under the leadership of Fr. Raymond Pacha to accommodate the overflowing classrooms of St. Mary’s and St. Patrick’s Catholic Schools in Iowa City.  After an aggressive campaign and the diligent efforts of parish volunteers.  Regina High School opens its doors to 295 students in 1958.

In 1962, Regina completed construction on its first athletic field.  Since then, Regina has grown to become an all-inclusive Pre-K through 12 school.  Known today as the Regina Catholic Education Center we employ over 200 faculty and staff members that serve over 950 students.

A Class 2A school, Regina students aggressively compete academically and athletically. The average Regina class graduates with a higher level of proficiency in reading (95.65%), mathematics (94.2%), and science (95.65%) on their junior year ITEDS than any other class in the area. For the past two years 100% enrolled in post-secondary institution with an average per student scholarship of $15,577.00 per student, totally in excess of $1,059,267.00.

Regina students are as committed on the field as in the classroom garnering state championships in Football (2005, 2010, and 2011), Men’s Soccer (2009, 2010, and 2011), Men’s Cross-Country (2010), Women’s Dance(2005 and 2010), and Softball (2011).

It is our hope that as you consider the education of your child, you consider Regina Catholic Education Center; a place where we strive to educate the entire student with rigorous academics grounded in Catholic values.
