Bishop McCort High School
The 1930s and 1940s brought the Great Depression, a flood and World War II, each of which affected Catholic High as it did the rest of the nation.On May 27, 1962, Johnstown Catholic High School was renamed to Bishop McCort High School, in honor of the late Bishop John Joseph McCort, whose vision had begun the work 40 years earlier.On October 8, 2008, control of Bishop McCort High School was turned over to a board of trustees to be run as an independent non-profit 501-C3 corporation.The Board is responsible for operations at the high school, including policy development, hiring of a principal, marketing and budget.The 14,436-square-foot (1,341.1 m2) building includes a weight room, a fitness area, and an auxiliary gymnasium for the school's basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball and tennis teams.
