Gerard Catholic High School was a Roman Catholic high school which opened in 1962 in Phoenix, Arizona. It was named for Msgr. Edward Gerard, one of the first ordained priests to minister in the Arizona territory.[1] In the same year, Bourgade Catholic High School in west Phoenix opened. Several Bourgade buildings — the school's Madonna Hall, Hillman Center, and 100/200 wing buildings — are identical to former Gerard structures.
Its athletics mascot was the Redcoat. Its colors were red and gray. A board honoring Gerard's athletic history is installed in the lobby of the gymnasium at Seton Catholic Preparatory High School.
