Background

Archbishop O'Hara High School was established in 1965. It was named after Archbishop Edwin Vincent O'Hara, former Bishop of the diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph. [3]

O'Hara was a college preparatory high school offering AP courses and university credit through Rockhurst University and the University of Missouri–Kansas City. 100% of its students attended post secondary education with approximately 75% enrolling in four year colleges and universities. O'Hara had great success in sports since its beginnings with state championships in a variety of sports. Sports offered included football, basketball, swimming, soccer, tennis, golf, wrestling, track, cross country.

History

November 2013 saw a Catholic brother at Kansas City's O'Hara High School fired after police confirmed an investigation of suspicious photographs on a school computer that he used. [4] [5] Investigators said that a student had borrowed the brother's computer to print a document. When the student was finished, they closed the application and a suspicious file popped up. The student reported what they saw to the principal and the brother was placed on administrative leave.

The school was closed following the 2016–2017 school year. [6] A new high school, St. Michael the Archangel High School, opened in Lee's Summit in 2017, [7] and some of the faculty moved to the new school. [8] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021. [9]
