In 1915, St. Joseph Academy, an all-girls academy, was opened as a day and boarding school operated by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Medaille. In 1950, Archbishop John T. McNicholas designated the academy would become the first co-ed parochial high school in Cincinnati. Archbishop McNicholas died before the school was opened and his successor, Archbishop Karl J. Alter approved on January 15, 1951, that the school be named for Archbishop McNicholas.
The school was purchased from the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Medaille by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati in 1998.
The geographic district of Archbishop McNicholas High School is on the eastern side of Hamilton County and extends into Clermont and Brown Counties.

Project Paradise edit
After many years of anticipation McNicholas High School Rockets have a home football field. The Penn Station stadium is behind the school in the area known by all alumni as "Paradise". Addition phases will be completed as funds allow. The first phase included the turf field, an all weather track, a scoreboard and goal posts, bleachers and a press box.
In the final phase the school will build new restrooms and a concession stand. Eventual plans include the installation of permanent stadium lights, a “field house” with locker rooms, weight room, and a meeting room.[1]
