History [edit]
Mount Michael Benedictine Abbey and School was founded in 1953 by Immaculate Conception Abbey in Missouri. The school began as a high school and junior college for men preparing for the priesthood and was called St. John Vianney Seminary. In the spring of 1970, the monks established Mount Michael Benedictine School, a Catholic residential high school encompassing grades 9 through 12 with a focus on college-prep curriculum. The school has grown steadily with an enrollment of just over 100 in the early 1970s to 221 today with an enrollment goal of approximately 240 students.[citation needed]
