St. Michael Catholic High School is a 9-12 Catholic college preparatory school, established by the Archdiocese of Mobile. It opened for the first time with ninth and tenth grades on August 17, 2016 and will add a grade each successive year, with an eventual maximum enrollment of 350-400 students. As part of a system wide voting process in the fall of 2015, the future students of St. Michael chose the name "Cardinals" as the school's mascot.[1][2]
Thomas Rodi, Archbishop of Mobile, is the school's founder, whereas Gwen Byrd is the founding superintendent and Faustin Weber is the school's first principal.[3] The school was created by the Archdiocese to serve all the people of Baldwin County.
Students are divided into four "Houses," named after the early bishops of Mobile: Michael Portier, John Quinlan, Jeremiah O'Sullivan and Edward Patrick Allen. The school will be an AHSAA sponsored school competing at the 3A-4A level.[4]
