Monsignor Scanlan High School is a four-year private, Roman Catholic high school located in the Throggs Neck section of The Bronx, New York City. It is part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York and is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and the New York State Board of Regents.

History

Monsignor Scanlan High School was initially established in 1949 as two schools, St. Helena's High School for Boys and St. Helena's High School for Girls. Both schools were formed by Monsignor Arthur J. Scanlan, founding pastor of St. Helena's Church. He also founded the parish elementary school in 1940. Both high schools were renamed in Scanlan's honor in 1972 and merged to form one coeducational high school in 1976. The parish also operated a commercial high school from 1956 to 2002.

Location

Located near the foot of the Whitestone Bridge, Monsignor Scanlan High School sits on a suburban-like 13-acre campus in the Throggs Neck section of The Bronx, just minutes from northern Queens.
