Charlie Essig tells us that Aurora Fox Valley Catholic High School for Boys was created in the 1920s. The main building for the school was erected in 1926. Aurora Fox Valley Catholic High School for Boys stood strong through 1933. It was this year that the monks of St. Meinrad Abbey combined Jasper Academy in Indiana with Fox Valley Catholic High School for Boys. The school was restructured to become a military school in 1935 and the name was changed to Aurora Marmion Military Academy.
Additional information about the formation of the school comes from the pages of the "History of the Catholic Diocese of Rockford, Illinois" written in 1924 by the Rev. Cornelius J. Kirkfleet states that the school was a vision of Bishop Peter Muldoon, who believed in having centrally located Catholic high schools in the larger populated areas of his diocese (such as Rockford, Freeport, Sterling, and Aurora). In the summer of 1923, Bishop Muldoon agreed in principle to pay $17,000.00 for a site on Lake Street between Illinois and Wilder Avenues, and invited seven parishes in the community to raise the funds.

Dit jaar combineerden de monniken van de abdij St. Meinrad de Jasper Academy in Indiana met de Fox Valley Catholic High School for Boys. De school werd in 1935 geherstructureerd om een militaire school te worden en de naam werd veranderd in Aurora Marmion Military Academy.
Aanvullende informatie over de vorming van de school komt van de pagina's van de "Geschiedenis van het katholieke bisdom van Rockford, Illinois" geschreven in 1924 door Eerw. Cornelius J. Kirkfleet stelt dat de school een visioen was van bisschop Peter Muldoon, die geloofde in het hebben van centraal gelegen katholieke middelbare scholen in de grotere bevolkte gebieden van zijn bisdom (zoals Rockford, Freeport, Sterling en Aurora). In de zomer van 1923 stemde bisschop Muldoon in principe in om $ 17.000,00 te betalen voor een site op Lake Street tussen Illinois en Wilder Avenues, en nodigde zeven parochies in de gemeenschap uit om de fondsen bijeen te brengen.
