History

Most Holy Rosary School began educating children on September 9, 1915, in large part due to the efforts of then pastor George S. Mahon. The Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary served as the faculty and established the twin goals of academic excellence and Christian Faith formation which guides the Bishop's Academy at Most Holy Rosary today. Throughout the years, the Sisters have contributed greatly to the MHR environment of high achievement, personally, spiritually, and academically.

In its first year, the school was comprised of 203 elementary students and 42 high school students. By its second year, enrollment was up to 400 students and by 1924, its ninth year, 800 students attended MHR. MHR quickly gained a reputation for providing students with a sound spiritual formation, superior education, and lifelong commitment to community service. As today, throughout its history, MHR primarily served the Catholic families in the Strathmore neighborhood.

The Bishop's Academy at Most Holy Rosary remains committed to the goals established in 1915 by the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the goals for which MHR has become so widely known and are relevant in today's world: Academic excellence and strong Christian faith formation.
