Originally, the priests from the Diocese of Indianapolis administered the school. In 1934, the Brothers of Holy Cross became the administrators, teachers, counselors and overseers. They, in partnership with the Indiana Knights, saw thousands of young boys turn in to young men. Today, the Knights continue to play an important role in the school's success. Members of the Knights serve on the school's board of directors, and the Knights of Columbus continue to contribute to the school's financial needs.
Many councils contribute to the school's financial needs.
Both councils and individuals donate regularly to Gibault. Without this support, Gibault School could not be the premier child-caring institution in the Midwest. Immediate Past State Deputy Eugene W. Hendrix of Seymour serves as the school's president of the board of trustees. Past State Deputy John Holloran is the president of the board of directors of the Gibault Foundation. Gibault's boys are troubled, delinquent and abused, and in need of a stable and caring environment.
