St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, a private Catholic school, provides students in ninth through 12th grade with an environment where they can have a well-rounded spiritual, academic and emotional experience.
As the only Catholic high school in the state designated a Marianist-sponsored high school and STEM-designated school, St. Vincent-St. Mary offers a range of academic supports and programs, including college prep, Honors and Advanced Placement courses, a robust College Credit Plus program and dozens of clubs.
Using the science, technology, religion, engineering, art and math (STREAM) model, teachers at St. Vincent-St. Mary integrate research- and problem-based instruction with engineering courses available to all students.
The Fighting Irish are proud to engage in some of the most competitive athletic programs in the state, with notable alumni that include LeBron James, Parris Campbell and Brian Windhorst.

The administration could definitely be better we've had 3 principles in the last year. The food is mid, ALWAYS get the asian bowl.

I loved how prepared I feel for college after taking some college prep classes and having four years worth of a college level grading system with all of my classes. I did not like the house system that they actively tried getting us involved in as it was very useless most times. I understand the idea of the system but the school doesn't meet the standards most of the time. I would like to see the house system advance into something better and more useful towards both the faculty and students.

My experience at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School was, unfortunately, very disappointing. While the academics were decent, and I learned a lot from some truly impactful teachers, the administration's handling of the school left much to be desired.One of the most troubling aspects was the clear favor...
