Bishop Carroll Catholic High School is a four-year co-educational Catholic secondary school located in Wichita, KS. In September 1962, Bishop Mark K. Carroll established Notre Dame High School at 3100 W. Douglas, a property formerly occupied by Mt. Carmel Academy, to meet the ever-growing needs of Wichita’s west-side parishes. Father Eugene Gerber was among the first full-time teachers for the 1962-1963 school year, which opened with a single Freshman class of 180 boys. On September 6, 1964, Notre Dame High School moved to a brand new building at 8101 W. Central and was officially rechristened Bishop Mark K. Carroll High School. Classes in the new building began in 1964 with the St. Louis-based Christian Brothers not only staffing the school but also living on campus. In September 1966, Madonna High School opened its doors to 628 girls with a staff comprised of the Adorers of the Blood of Christ and the Congregation of St. Joseph Sisters. In the spring of 1971, the building that housed Madonna High School was sold to USD 259 and the school merged with Bishop Carroll to form a student body of 1,006 young men and women.
