About Bishop McDonnell High School

Bishop McDonnell Memorial High School (1926 -1973) was an all girls Catholic high school.
In 1973 the Diocese of Brooklyn closed Bishop McDonnell Memorial High School and many of the young women came to Bishop Loughlin. 1973 also marks the year in which Bishop Loughlin became a co-education high school.
Memorial Hall was dedicated in honor of the thousands of women who graduated from Bishop McDonnell Memorial High School. Memorial Hall is located on the first floor of our school next to the Religion Department.
