Archbishop McNicholas High School

McNicholas is located 20 minutes east of downtown Cincinnati on Beechmont Avenue in Mount Washington.  Our campus consists of 48 acres, extensive academic facilities and an outstanding athletic complex. The main building houses offices and classrooms as well as our main gym and auditorium, The Jeanne Spurlock Theatre, and the Library Media Center.

Convent

Built in 1914, the Covent is the oldest building on the McNicholas campus and originally housed the Sisters of St. Joseph. The Convent was turned over to McNicholas in 1997.  It is now home to the World Languages Department, Art Department, and the Athletic, Alumni and Development Offices. The Convent Chapel is used for prayer services and Friday morning masses.

Courtyard

The Courtyard was developed in 2006.  It provides a beautiful landscaped area for casual seating and social events such as the Freshman Picnic and class reunions.

Paradise Gardens

Opened in May of 2008, Paradise Gardens provides a natural habitat for plants and animals, a rain garden that naturally cleanses water, and an interactive land lab. The 1.8 acre wooded area has an outdoor classroom that seats 30. 

Military Memorial

The McNicholas Military Memorial was dedicated on Friday, May 15, 2009 to honor five graduates who have given their lives in service to our country.  The memorial honors Marty Mugavin ('65), Greg Iding ('65), Joe Berning ('69), Chuck Kiser ('85), and Nick Erdy ('02).
