Ursuline High School

750 Wick Ave
Youngstown, OH 44505
Ursuline's legacy and its grand traditions have been an integral part of Catholic education in the Mahoning Valley for 117 years. Established in 1905 by the Youngstown Ursuline Sisters, Ursuline High School has provided a community of faith and an academic environment within which young people are challenged and supported to become who they have been called to be by their Creator.
Our religious heritage permeates every facet of life at Ursuline. Ursuline High School has a tradition of academic excellence demonstrated by our students who are named National Merit Finalists and Commended Scholars, by the rigorous standards of our eighteen Advanced Placement programs, and by the high percentage of Ursuline students (98%) who continue their education at colleges and universities around the country.
Recent classes represent Ursuline today at Notre Dame University, John Carroll University, the University of Pennsylvania, NEOMED, and Ohio State University to name only a few. We foster respect for our differences in gender, creed, race, and nationality by celebrating our unique talents, gifts, and abilities and by developing relationships that energize us in our work together.
We are committed to lives of service and our students have countless opportunities to reach out and befriend the poor, the elderly, and the dispossessed. Commitment to the Fine and Performing Arts has long been a hallmark of the school. Our students have multiple opportunities to develop their unique gifts and talents through a wide range of extra-curricular activities. We invite you to learn more about our school and programs by reviewing this page and by visiting our website, www.ursuline.com.

Ursuline was a great fit for my son who was involved in the band and speech team. The academics were top notch and my son ended up beginning college with 18 credits from his AP tests. The band program is excellent and my son ended up qualifying for the state speech tournament.
