About McNick
McNicholas High School is the premier choice for a coed, Catholic high school education in the Cincinnati area. It is the place to discover your unique, God-given brilliance and put it into action.
Every student contributes at McNick in an experiential environment of doing — not watching. Customized learning and leadership programs help students make a difference in this close-knit, faith-based community and beyond.
At McNicholas, students have more opportunities to get involved and make their presence felt. We offer 26 competitive athletic programs, over 40 clubs and extracurriculars, service opportunities, mission trips, award-winning visual and performing arts programs, partnerships with professionals, and a broad array of opportunities for students of every interest and talent.
Through an adaptable curriculum that includes Advanced Placement and college credit classes as well as the SAIL program for identified learners, students of all abilities are challenged to reach their academic best.
McNicholas is a Catholic community that is committed to learning from and honoring each other’s unique backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We strive to build a community of empathy in which everyone feels welcome, safe, loved, and respected. We value diversity and celebrate uniqueness. After all, we all benefit when everyone’s God-given brilliance shines forth.
Listen to our students explain why they feel so at home at McNicholas High School.
We love McNick! The sense of community, faith based education, collective leadership of the school, longevity of key teachers, and focus on communication in classes were the top reasons we chose to send our sons here.Suzette, parent of Class of '22 and '24
