McAuley High School, a comprehensive Catholic school for young women, sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas is committed to quality education and growth within a caring, Christ-centered community. Faithful to the Gospel and the charism, core values and tradition of Mercy, McAuley’s essential activity is to create an environment designed to help each young woman develop her intellect, gifts and talents.
"McAuley High School is part of a tradition which began in Ireland in 1831 with Catherine McAuley, the foundress of the Sisters of Mercy. Catherine believed most ardently in the education of women; McAuley High School is carrying out her vision two centuries later. In 1958, Archbishop Karl J. Alter announced that the Sisters of Mercy had been chosen to establish a new high school in College Hill. Fifteen acres of land were donated by the Archbishop, but construction of the school was the responsibility of the Sisters of Mercy. Ground was broken on August 28, 1958, and the school was opened in 1960 with an enrollment of 200 freshmen. A class was added in each of the next three years. The original building remains beautiful and sound due to the Sisters’ foresight in using top quality materials. In 2002, seven new science labs, a fitness room, two music rooms, a conference room, and an expanded gymnasium and cafeteria were added to better accommodate students’ needs. Renovation of the original 1000-seat auditorium was completed in 2008."
