In 2001 the school reduced teaching staff and programs, including American football, and it raised tuition from $3,500 to $4,500.
In the fall of 2002, St. Florian and Bishop Gallagher High School in Harper Woods merged to form Trinity Catholic High School in Harper Woods.
Pat Domagala, the principal of St. Florian, said that schools decided to merge because both were college preparatory schools and therefore had elements in common, and because Bishop Gallagher needed additional students and St. Florian needed additional programs.
