Bishop Hartley High School is a private, Catholic high school located in Columbus, Ohio. The school is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus, and serves the East side of Columbus. It is a coeducational high school and typically has an enrollment between 600 and 700 students. The school bases itself upon 6 pillars: faith, service, preparation, spirit, community, and leadership.
Bishop Hartley High School has been noted for its technology program, as students are provided with Apple iPads to facilitate learning. Also, each classroom is equipped with a SMART board and most homework is transferred online.
Bishop Ready announced the plans to build a new Catholic High school in Columbus in 1954, and it was decided it would be named in memory of Bishop James J. Hartley, the fourth Bishop of Columbus. The sisters of Notre Dame de Namur- the city's first order of teaching nuns- agreed to staff the school under the direction of the Diocese of Columbus. Bishop Ready made frequent trips to the site to inspect the building progress. At the time of his death on May 2, 1957, the exterior construction work had been completed and the interior work was well underway. Although Bishop Ready did not have the pleasure of seeing his work completed, he had the satisfaction of knowing that the second unit in the high school expansion program was accomplished and that the first class had actually enrolled.
His Excellency, Bishop Edward G. Hettinger, consecrated the altar in the school chapel and offered the first Mass on Wednesday, September 11, 1957. The next day, September 12, the school was officially opened and Bishop Hartley High School welcomed its initial class of 177 ninth grade pupils.
Bishop Hartley's college preparatory graduating requirements are: 4 years of Religion, English, and Electives (2 or more Foreign Language); 3 years of Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies; 1 year of Health and Art. Many Advanced Placement (AP) classes are offered in the curriculum including the areas of Biology, Calculus, and English. College level Calculus II and Statistics is also offered, as is PSEO at Ohio State, Columbus State, Franklin, and Ohio Dominican.
