History

Bishop James Mahoney High School opened in 1984 and is named in honour of the Most Reverend James P. Mahoney, former Bishop of Saskatoon, in recognition of his many contributions to Catholic Education in Saskatoon. Prior to his appointment as Bishop, Bishop Mahoney was a classroom teacher at St. Paul's High School and E.D. Feehan High School. He also served as the first Principal of Holy Cross High School. During his episcopate, Bishop Mahoney remained interested and involved in Catholic education and as a speaker in the field of education. We are especially proud of our namesake, Bishop James P. Mahoney. Thank you Bishop Mahoney, for your spiritual guidance, leadership and support of Catholic education, especially here at Bishop Mahoney High School.^[1]
