History:

The school first opened as Our Lady of Perpetual Help School in 1895. First high school graduation exercises of Our Lady of Perpetual Help were held in 1904. Prior to that, only school closing ceremonies were held.

The high school name, along with that of the elementary school, was changed to St. Anthony in 1907 when the present cathedral building was constructed. The high school was accredited by the Texas Education Agency in 1925.

Two years later, in 1927, under the leadership of Monsignor E. A. Kelly, a separate St. Anthony High School building was constructed.

In 1961, it was moved to its present location and renamed Central Catholic.

In 1964, its name was changed to Msgr. E. A. Kelly Catholic High School.

In 2004, Msgr. Kelly Catholic High School was recognized with a Top 50 Award honoring America's Best Catholic High Schools.

Founded: 1895
