Ursuline High School is a private Catholic coeducational secondary school located in Youngstown, Ohio. Founded in 1905 by the Ursuline Sisters, it was an all-women's academy until 1930. The north side school is owned and operated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Youngstown.

Ursuline, like many schools within the city limits, has been adversely affected by urban depopulation and rising operational costs. The school has benefited, however, from the support of alumni. In 2006, the high school launched its Ursuline Centennial Capital Campaign, whose goal is to raise $4 million. In February 2007, Ursuline came close to meeting this goal when Anthony Cafaro, president of the Cafaro Company, presented the school with a check for $1 million.[1]
