Niagara Catholic High School

Examples include changing the school nickname from "Big Red" to the Patriots which alienated many alumni.

Niagara Catholic was established in 1975 in the traditions of the former St. Mary's, Bishop Duffy and Madonna High Schools.

Cornelius F. Killeen, Pastor of St. Mary's Church, and staffed by the Sisters of Mercy, an international community of Roman Catholic women vowed to serve people who suffer from poverty, sickness and lack of education with a special concern for women and children.

Its combination of a strict code of conduct, a well rounded curriculum and competitive athletic programs the school realized strong student enrollment throughout the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s.

In 1959 the young women of St. Mary's moved to the newly constructed Madonna Catholic High School.
