On May 6, 1966, six parishes from the area came together to discuss the building of a central Catholichigh school in Elgin, Nebraska to replace two existing schools in Petersburg (St. John's High School) and Elgin (St. Boniface High School). A non-profit corporation was founded in June to operate the new school.[1] A 30,300 square feet (2,810 m2), one-level loop corridor building design was chosen. The new school could accommodate up to 350 students and opened in September 1967. A dedication was held on September 24.[2]
The school's track and field team has had a few students qualify for state championships in recent years, and the girls' basketball team made it to state in 2006. In 2008, the girls' basketball team made it to the state championship game and ended up winning state runner-up. The boys' basketball team made it to state for the first time in 2007. In November 2007, the football team won the school's first state championship. The wrestling team has produced 17 state champions in Class C and Class D, and has finished in the top three in team, scoring twice (in 1983 and 1994).
