McAuley High School is an all-girls private, Catholic high school in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Young women from all over the Cincinnati area and parts of Indiana attend McAuley High School. Today, McAuley High School remains a comprehensive Catholic school for young women, sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas. The US Department of Education designated McAuley a National Blue Ribbon School. McAuley provides a balanced education with a high level of focus on academics. McAuley also offers students sports and arts programs, a Tablet PC program, and a progressive schedule. Located in the community of College Hill, McAuley's essential focus is to create an environment designed to help young women develop their intellect, gifts and talents. On March 2, 2017 it was announced that McAuley would merge with Mother of Mercy Cincinnati in 2018 due to lacking enrollment numbers. The new merged school will stay at McAuley's current campus.
The McAuley High School tradition, which began in Ireland in 1831, is rooted in the ideals and beliefs of the foundress of the Sisters of Mercy, Catherine McAuley. Catherine McAuley believed most ardently in the importance of the education of women. In 1958, Archbishop Karl J. Alter chose the Sisters of Mercy to establish a new high school in College Hill. The Archbishop donated 15 acres of land and handed over the responsibility of constructing the school to the Sisters of Mercy. The Sisters of Mercy broke ground on August 28, 1958, and in 1960 the school opened with an enrollment of 200 young women (Freshmen only). A class was added in each of the next three years. The first graduating class was in 1964. The original building still stands today. 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 the growing needs of the students. In 2008, the school completed a renovation of the original 1,000 seat auditorium. On March 2, 2017 it was announced that McAuley would merge with Mother of Mercy Cincinnati in 2018 due to lacking enrollment numbers. The new merged school will stay at McAuley's current campus.
