Morinville Community High School

Morinville Community High School is a Catholic high school located in Morinville, Alberta, Canada. It is part of the Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools. MCHS is the only high school serving the Morinville community. The school was founded in November 1994 and teaches students from grade 9-12. Their athletic teams are called the “Prairie Wolves, ” or just the “Wolves. ”HistoryMorinville was for a long time served by high schools in neighbouring towns: the much older and larger settlement of St. Albert to the south, and the small agricultural village of Legal to the north. The Grey Nuns had established a small convent, schoolhouse, and hospital in what was to become the settlement of St. Albert in 1864. The Catholic Church continued to dominate education in the region even after the first public school boards were formed, as most the population was Catholic. In the earliest days, each school had its own board, and St. Albert had a school board as early as 1885 when both St. Albert Roman Catholic Public District no. 3 and nearby Bellerose Roman Catholic Public District no. 6 were both formed to operate one-room schools that went up to grade 8, the legal requirement at the time (Bellerose School was later moved to Fort Edmonton Park where it still stands).
