De Smet Jesuit High School is a Catholic college preparatory high school for boys in Creve Coeur, Missouri,[3] in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Louis.

The school began classes in the fall of 1967. It was named in honor of the Belgian Jesuit Great Plains missionary Pierre-Jean De Smet. De Smet will expand to add a middle school beginning with the 2025-26 school year, using excess space in the existing school building. Initial plans are for classes of sixty students each in grades 6, 7, and 8, with room for additional growth in the future.[4]
