St. John the Baptist High School was a parochial, Catholic high school in St. Louis, Missouri. It was located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Louis. The school opened in 1922 as a two-year, all male business school. By 1930, the high school became a co-ed, four-year, accredited high school. The high school building and program expanded several times. Eight more classrooms were added in 1934, and in 1938, the gym, cafeteria, and four more classrooms were added. In 1946, another wing was added to the original high school building, including the library and additional classrooms. The high school closed in May 2008, and in fall 2009, the grade school program with pre-kindergarten through 8 moved to the former high school building. The grade school later closed in May 2014. The building currently sits empty, but the Catholic Charities Office of the Archdiocese of St. Louis plans to move into the former high school building after some renovation.

Dutchtown, St. Louis
Dutchtown, St. Louis

Dutchtown is a neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri. It is called "Dutch" from Deutsch, i.e., "German", as it was the southern center of German-American settlement in St. Louis in the early 19th century. It was the original site of Concordia Seminary (before it relocated to Clayton, Missouri), Concordia Publishing House, Lutheran Hospital, and other German community organizations. The German Cultural Society still has its headquarters there. St Anthony of Padua Catholic Church towers over the neighborhood and is a symbol of the neighborhood. While the influence of the German settlers remains, Dutchtown rapidly began to diversify in the 1990s. The majority of Dutchtown residents today are Black, and significant numbers of Latinos, Asians, and other immigrants call the neighborhood home as well. Dutchtown is home to long-standing, locally famous purveyors of sweets: the South Grand location of locally famous chain Ted Drewes frozen custard stand, as well as Merb's Candies and Dad's Cookies. More recently, a number of resale shops and boutiques have clustered in the Downtown Dutchtown area along Meramec Street between South Grand Boulevard and Compton Avenue. The 17-acre Marquette Park sits in the center of the neighborhood and features a free public swimming pool, recreation center, playground, tennis courts, a renovated field house, and plenty of green space. Other parks in Dutchtown include Amberg Park at the west end of the neighborhood, and Laclede Park and Minnie Wood Memorial Square to the east.
