Franciscan High School

Franciscan High School was founded in 1899 as Ladycliff Academy, a boarding school for girls run by the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Peekskill, New York.^[1] It was renamed and opened to boys in the early 1970s, and closed in 1991.

History[edit]

The school was originally located on the grounds of Ladycliff College, in Highland Falls, NY, next to West Point Military Academy.^[1]

In September 1961, under the guidance and direction of the principal, Mary Philip, the academy moved to Mohegan Lake, NY.^{[citation needed]}

In the early 1970s, the order decided to admit boys, and established the school as co-ed with the new name of "Franciscan High School." It remained in operation under that name until 1991.^{[citation needed]}
