The groundbreaking for the school was performed on September 21, 1960 by then-bishop of Toledo, Bishop George J. Rehring. The first class entered the following fall. The school is named for Samuel Cardinal Stritch, the second bishop of Toledo during the years of 1921 through 1930, and eventually cardinal archbishop of Chicago.
On the school's website it states, "A twenty-acre site was chosen for the East Side area’s first co-institutional high school. One side of the school was reserved for boys’ classes, the other for girls’, with co-educational classes being held in the center sections. (The separate wings were integrated in 1971 when all classes became co-educational.) The first principal was Monsignor Michael Walz, who initiated the “Stritch Family” concept.
Succeeding principals have been Rev. John A. Thomas, Rev. Frank Nieset, Sister Louis de Montfort, Rev. Frank Murd and Rev. Robert J. Yeager, Ed.D. In 1997 the Bishop appointed the Rev. John Stites as the first President of the school. Mr. Timothy Mahoney became the first lay person to be assigned as principal of the school.
In 2004, Father David Reinhart was appointed president of Cardinal Stritch High School. During his time at Cardinal Stritch High School, Father Reinhart has led an unprecedented upgrade to campus facilities and has given vision to a new way of thinking about Catholic education in light of a theology of stewardship. Under Father Reinhart's leadership, Cardinal Stritch High School has been recoginized as one of the top 50 Catholic high schools by the National Catholic High School Honor Roll.
The high school has also taken on leadership rolls in the creation of the Live It initiative and the Kateri Education Project, a regional study of Catholic education. Most importantly, the school has clarified its vision as being a place that forms disciples of Jesus Christ. They have adopted a service learning program, "Stewards of Stritch", moved from monthly to weekly Mass for all of its students, and helped to draw the attention of the entire high school community toward the Eucharist as the source and summit of our faith and therefore, at the center of the school."[2]
Mrs. Kelli Malinowski was appointed principal for the 2010-2011 school year and stepped down on August 26, 2011. Mr. Tim Malone was appointed as the next principal, and is the third lay person to be principal of Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School.[3]
In the years 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School was named to the Top 50 Catholic High Schools by the Catholic High School Honor Roll.[4]
The school has went under multiple renovations during the 2011 school year and 2011 summer break that includes:
On May 19, 2011, the school celebrated its 50 year anniversary with a mass presided by Bishop Leonard P. Blair. It was officially announced that the school added the word "Catholic" to its official name and a brand new school logo was unveiled. Cardinal Stritch High School is now officially known as Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School.[5]
Beginning in the 2012-2013 school year, every incoming freshmen at Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School will be given an Apple iPad.[6]
