History
Established in 1984.
In 1972, the only Catholic high school in Austin closed. Ten years later, Austin was the only US major city without a Catholic high school. A small group of parents and Catholic lay leaders led by Dr. Leonard Dolce commissioned a study that revealed the Austin community would enthusiastically support such a school.
In 1984, St. Michael’s Catholic Academy opened its doors. It was one of the first Catholic schools in the nation to be established entirely by lay people.
