75th Anniversary

For 75 years, McNicholas has proudly upheld its mission of delivering superior Catholic education, shaping thousands of young men and women into compassionate, successful leaders.

During the 2025-26 school year, McNicholas High School celebrates its 75th Anniversary--a remarkable milestone in our journey of faith-based education and academic excellence. Since our founding in 1951 by the Sisters of St. Joseph, as Cincinnati's first, co-educational Catholic high school, McNicholas has proudly upheld its mission of delivering superior Catholic education, shaping thousands of young men and women into compassionate, successful leaders. 

Join us throughout the year as we honor our past, celebrate our present, and look forward to an exciting future rooted in our mission. We invite all students, families, alumni, faculty, and friends to be a part of this historic celebration. Let us come together in gratitude for 75 years of blessings and continue to build a legacy of faith, learning, and service. 

One Mission. One Family. One McNicholas.
