Kellenberg Memorial High School is a Roman Catholic college-preparatory school in Uniondale, Long Island, New York. Kellenberg is the second Marianist school on Long Island and prides itself on high academic standards combined with a strong focus on faith.
Kellenberg Memorial High School is named in honor of Most Rev. Walter P. Kellenberg, founding Bishop of the Diocese of Rockville Centre. In the 1960s, Kellenberg had commissioned the construction of four diocesan high schools, including Maria Regina in Uniondale. Facing declining enrollment and a lack of low-cost priests and nuns to teach in these schools, Bishop McGann closed Maria Regina, but in the face of parental protests, the school was acquired by the Marianist brothers who were already running Chaminade High School in nearby Mineola, and was reopened as Kellenberg Memorial in 1987.
In September, 1987, the administration of Kellenberg Memorial High School announced the establishment of the Bro. Joseph C. Fox Latin School. The Latin School is named in honor of a Marianist brother, Bro. Joseph C. Fox, who taught for over fifty years in Catholic schools. This new division of KMHS provides a qualitative Catholic education to students from the public schools in grades six through eight.
Kellenberg is accessed through the main entrance across from RXR Plaza on Glenn Curtiss Blvd. Although the lobby was originally designed as the main entrance, the school is oriented toward its north entrance. The north entrance of the school features a mural of the Holy Family, including a depiction of Jesus as a teenager, designed by artist Yan Rieger in 1997, in honor of the school's tenth anniversary. Students and Marianists assisted the artist and his wife with the execution of the mural. Kellenberg Memorial has five athletic fields, baseball, football, softball etc., four of which separately named after each of the Four Evangelists. The school also is the caretakers of two Nassau County properties, one east of the school and one west, which are used for athletic purposes. These properties are named Jerusalem and Jericho respectively, after the two biblical cities.A new artificial turf field was installed during the summer of 2010. This marks a series of campus improvements and expansions that will take place throughout 2010 and 2011.
