September 3, 1966

Pennsylvania priest Father George Tribou, whose name became synonymous in Little Rock (Pulaski County) with rigorous academics and strict discipline, became principal of the Catholic High School for Boys (CHS). A 1970 Arkansas Gazette article by reporter Bill Lewis stated that CHS was—in an era widely viewed as permissive—“almost an anachronism, an institution out of its time.” The article went on to say that the school’s promotion of spiritual formation, discipline, and high educational expectations nonetheless found a receptive audience in both parents and students. Tribou ended his tenure as principal on December 10, 2000.
