Schools

An Irish Education

By: Sarah Schwab

Irish influence in Cincinnati can best been seen in the area’s Catholic High Schools. Founded by the Sisters of Mercy, Mother of Mercy High School and McAuley High School strive to educate young women using the same principles and values of the Irish foundress of the Sisters of Mercy, Catherine McAuley. Seton High School and DePaul Christo Rey High School were also founded by a religious order with strong Irish ties, the Sisters of Charity. All of the schools teach students the core beliefs of faith, academic excellence, service, and leadership.
