O'Dea High School is a Catholic boys' high school located on Seattle's First Hill, in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle. The school is named after Edward John O'Dea who became the bishop of Nisqually in 1896 and then Seattle in 1907 when the See was moved.
Founded in 1923, O'Dea is owned by the Archdiocese of Seattle and run by the Congregation of Christian Brothers. Of its 484 students, 72% are Catholics. It is associated with Seattle University's Matteo Ricci College, providing both the Composition: Language and Thought and Poverty in America classes for its students. An all-boys high school, it is very closely connected to Holy Names Academy, an all-girls high school on Seattle's nearby Capitol Hill.
Annual tuition ranges between $4,224.00 and $8,019.00 as of 2007.
