“Establishing a New Catholic High School in Baldwin County.”
St. Michael Catholic High School opened in 2016 with 99 freshman and sophomores, and has added a class each year. Now a 9-12 school with 323 students, it offers students classes at the “Collegiate Studies” and “Honors/A.P.” level. Students earn 32 credits for graduation, with four years of History, Theology, Science, Math and English and a minimum of 2 years of foreign language and the Arts. The school hosts 11 varsity athletic programs competing at the 3A level, a 70-member Band program, a 150-member choral program, a Scholar’s Bowl team, a Model U.N. team, and a foreign language program that earned 56 medals on national language exams in 2019.
