Archdiocese of Cinti

McNicholas has its roots in St. Joseph Academy, a boarding school for girls opened by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Bourg in 1915.  In 1950, Archbishop John Timothy McNicholas asked the Sisters if the academy would like to become the first coeducational diocesan high school in the Cincinnati area.  This request was honored by Archbishop Karl J. Alter, and McNicholas High School was inaugurated January 15, 1951.

Throughout our history, McNicholas has educated thousands of young men and women who have proudly taken their places as Christian leaders in today's society.  Through constant change and continual improvement, we consistently challenge all students to reach their greatest potential.
