Saint Michael Catholic High School opened its doors to the Niagara Falls community in September 1989 under the leadership of Principal William Walter. It was located on Valley Way in the east of Niagara Falls. The enrolment at startup was 248 students with 39 staff members, including academic and support staff. The first graduating class of 51 students was in the 1991-92.
In April of 2004, due to the development in the southwest section of Niagara Falls, Niagara Catholic was provided ministry funding for the construction of a new school. At this time, Saint Michael became the boundary school for students in the southern portion of Niagara Falls and Chippawa. The current location of Saint Michael is on Mcleod Road with a student enrolment over 1200 students with a staff of just under 100.
Giving witness to our faith and following in the footsteps of Christ are at the center of our actions. Regardless of the task put forth by our staff and students, the deep roots of our faith will only assist in the nurturing the spiritual and emotional development of our students. With this in mind, students will have a better chance of fulfilling their God given potential as contributing members of our constantly changing world.
Our dedicated staff members will continue to strive for excellence and support the learning of each student. Our exceptional facility provides extra value in an already dynamic Catholic learning environment. A pathway for all learners is available here at Saint Michael! Saint Michael students are truly blessed to attend a high school that will have all possible program options!
