Bishop DuBourg High School came into being from plans conceived in 1949 by
the newly-appointed superintendent of St Louis Archdiocesan High Schools,
Reverend James T. Curtin. The plan called for a new high school to be built on a
seventeen-acre tract of land at Clifton and Eichelberger, which had been
purchased by the late Cardinal Glennon. In June of 1950, Cardinal Ritter (then
Archbishop) announced the plans for the eighth archdiocesan high school, the
largest in the system, to have an enrollment capacity of 1,600.  Archbishop Ritter
officiated at the groundbreaking ceremonies on May 18, 1952. Reverend Mother
Borgia, then Superior General of the Sisters of the Most Precious Blood, who had
been asked to take responsibility for the operation of the school, assisted him.
