Bishop McDevitt High School is a private, coeducational Catholic high school of the Diocese of Harrisburg, located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, United States. The school was founded in 1918 and renamed in 1957 to honor the memory of the Most Reverend Philip R. McDevitt, fourth bishop of Harrisburg and founder of the school. Bishop McDevitt has an enrollment of over 850 students in grades 9th through 12th and around 60 full-time faculty. On January 7, 2013 the new Bishop McDevitt High School opened on 1 Crusader Way.
