History

Rebul was founded in 1967 as a segregation academy. In 1970, the school lost its tax exempt status as the result of a determination by the IRS that it had discriminatory admission practices.[2] It did not get tax-exempt status until 1993.[3]

Rebul plays football in the MAIS league. It was not a powerhouse in 2017, losing 57-0 against Riverdale Academy.[4]
