Archbishop McNicholas High School is a parochial high school in the Mt. Washington neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. The school was opened in 1951 and named in honor of John T. McNicholas, fifth bishop and third Archbishop of Cincinnati.

In 1915 St. Joseph Academy was opened as a day and boarding school operated by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Medaille. In 1950 Archbishop McNicholas designated the academy would become the first co-ed parochial high school in Cincinnati. Archbishop McNicholas died defore the school was opened and his successor, Archbishop Karl J. Alter approved on January 15, 1951 that the school be named for Archbishop McNicholas.

The school was purchased from the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Medaille by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati on July 1, 1998.

The geographic district of McNicholas High School is on the eastern side of Hamilton County and extends into Clermont and Brown Counties. 19 Catholic parishes have "feeder" elementary schools where students come from within the district.

Also the student name Dominic Benintendi does the best Steven hawking impersonation, pretty cool right?

Academics

The curriculum is accredited by the Ohio Department of Education and the Ohio Catholic School Accrediting Association. 97% of the students attending McNicholas High School further their education in post-secondary schools and colleges. It is required that students have one Religion focused class during attendance at McNicholas.

Turning Point Campaign

A culmination of many different listening sessions and surveys resulted in the realization Archbishop McNicholas High School was in dire need to expand and update campus facilities.

In 1970, a gym was constructed. An auxiliary gym was constructed in 2006. The TurningPoint Capital Campaign set out with the goal of generating $3.5 million necessary to address immediate and crucial needs of the school.

Project Paradise

After many years of anticipation McNicholas High School Rockets have a home football field. The Penn Station stadium is behind the school in the area known by all alumni as "Paradise". Addition phases will be completed as funds allow. The first phase includes the turf field, a 400-meter all weather track, a scoreboard and goal posts, bleachers and a press box.

In the final phase the school will build new restrooms and a concession stand. Eventual plans include the installation of permanent stadium lights, a “field house” with locker rooms, weight room, and a meeting room.
