Parkersburg Catholic was opened in 1950,[2] located at the corner of 9th and Juliana Sts. It was moved to a new site on Fairview Ave. in 1958. It was the first Catholic high school in the area. Originally known as St. Francis Xavier High School, the name was changed to its present name in 1954. It began with its highest level as the 9th Grade, then expanded each year thereafter. It now hosts grades 7-12, with 180 students enrolled on average.[citation needed]

Never will our loyalties fail,

Through the years of days by,
