Father Lopez Catholic High School is a private, Roman Catholic high school in Daytona Beach, Florida. It is located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orlando. 413 students are enrolled.
Father Lopez Catholic High School was established in 1959 to meet the growing need for a central Catholic high school in the Daytona area. The school replaced several parish schools, including St. Paul Parish School, which was established in 1924 as the first Catholic high school in the area. It was built by the Diocese of St. Augustine at 960 Madison Avenue. The school was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

In 2001 the school paid $1.17 million for 2 acres (0.81 ha) of land and two buildings as the first step in a planned $3 million expansion and renovation project.

In 2005 Wenski supplied $1.5 million of diocesan funds for the new school. The school raised $10 million.
A new school was constructed in 2008 in Daytona, about 3 miles (4.8 km) from its previous location. The campus will have a tennis courts in the next 10 years. Currently, it has a main football field with a new track, a new baseball field, a new softball field and practice fields.
