Since 1933, the mission of St. Henry District High School has been to educate young men and women and prepare them to meet the challenges of the future. As Northern Kentucky’s largest Catholic, college-preparatory, co-educational high school and a nationally recognized Blue Ribbon School, St. Henry has a long-standing tradition of providing a well-rounded education that nurtures the spiritual, intellectual, social, and emotional development of all students.

St. Henry offers a warm, family atmosphere where faculty and staff are focused on meeting the needs of every member of the diverse student body guided by the school’s five pillars of success: faith, scholarship, athletics, arts, and leadership. The nearly 500 students who attend St. Henry come from more than 20 Catholic and public grade schools in the tri-state area to be #CRUnited in Christ.

The faculty challenges students through creative and critical thinking, cooperative learning, classroom technology, and their passion to advance student learning. Throughout the year, the student body performs more than 2,000 hours of community service, giving their time and talent to a wide variety of organizations, including local parishes, food pantries, homeless shelters, inner-city schools, and community non-profits. Upon graduation, students are prepared for college, career, and life and grow to become active, caring leaders who value human life, are dedicated to family, and live a life in service of others.
