History
Originally named The Catholic Institute High School, it was renamed Cheverus in 1926 after the first bishop of Boston, Jean-Louis Lefebvre de Cheverus. Cheverus was first located on Free Street, moved to Cumberland Avenue in 1946, and then moved to its current location on Ocean Avenue in 1952.
Cheverus was originally run by diocesan priests. In 1942, the Society of Jesus assumed responsibility of the school.
In 2000, the school became coeducational.
