The "Fenwick Tradition" began over fifty years ago when the need for a Catholic high school in Middletown was realized. The school takes its name from Bishop Edward D. Fenwick, the first bishop of Cincinnati. Fenwick's first home was Old South School (built in 1872). In need of extensive repairs, the historic building was renovated by the faculty, parishioners and prospective students. Fenwick's first principal, Rev. Julian Krusling, presided over the opening day ceremonies held on August 21, 1952.
As the student body grew, so did the need for a modern facility. Once again, through the hard work and commitment of the Catholic community of Middletown, the new school, located on eighteen acres of land, was opened on November 20, 1962.
Since that time, Fenwick's reputation for excellence has also grown. In 1992, Fenwick High School was accredited by the North Central Association. NCA accreditation confirms that Fenwick provides an excellent educational program. In 2000, Fenwick also received accreditation from the Ohio Catholic Accreditation Association.
Fenwick has developed a reputation for academic excellence in an environment where students are challenged to reach their potential. The curriculum, spiritual guidance and extra-curricular activities provide a well-rounded education that prepares a Fenwick student for future successes.
