History
|
| St.
Brendan High School was originally St. John Vianney Minor Seminary
High School. St. John Vianney High School was opened to accept
students who were interested in studying for the priesthood.
When enrollment declined, the Archdiocese of Miami, under the
leadership of Archbishop Coleman F. Carroll, decided to convert
the school into a co-educational high school. They changed its
name to St. Brendan High School and it opened at the start of
the 1975 school year.
The school is primarily
committed to serving the educational needs of the Catholic
population of the southwest section of Miami. In 1975, 346
students were enrolled in the ninth and tenth grades. By 1977,
870 students were enrolled in the ninth, tenth, eleventh,
and twelfth grades. At the present time, there are almost
1300 students enrolled in the school.
