Uniforms are required and must be purchased from Tommy Hilfiger. Lands' End pieces are grandfathered for current students, but new students must buy Tommy Hilfiger items. All uniform clothing is purchased from the Tommy Hilfiger Website, and official outerwear must be DePaul Prep apparel (Tommy Hilfiger, Spirit Shop, or team athletic shop) with a school ID badge worn visibly at all times.
Food services are provided by Quest Food Services. Students can add funds to MyMealTime lunch accounts online, and use their DePaul Prep ID badge to purchase items in the cafeteria. Parker Kokowicz is the Food Service Director and can address dietary needs; nutrition information is available online.
The school is governed by a Board of Directors, including President Mary A. Dempsey and Life Directors, as listed on the Board page. The school maintains a university partnership with DePaul University.
DePaul College Prep is a Catholic, co‑educational, college‑prep high school in Chicago sponsored by the Vincentians and connected to DePaul University. It serves students aged 14 to 18 and offers an IB World School program with two paths: the Full Diploma and an Individual Course Pathway. IB courses span Groups 1–6 and the Core (Theory of Knowledge, Extended Essay, CAS); students may earn college credit through IB even if they do not pursue the Diploma. Beginning in 9th grade, the school offers sixteen Advanced Placement courses, and from 11th grade provides summer dual‑credit and dual‑enrollment opportunities with DePaul University. The STEAM & Arts program blends science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics, with ten science labs, four maker spaces, an organic garden and greenhouse, plus robotics, film and music production, and design projects. The 17‑acre campus includes the Mary A. Dempsey Academic Center, a Black Box Theater, a 1,500‑seat outdoor stadium, and planned Indoor Athletic Complex. An 80‑minute block schedule and Vincentian service initiatives support robust post‑secondary planning and student growth.
