History

Originally an all-boys high school, Pacelli merged with the all-girls Maria High School in the early 1970s to create a co-ed school offering a college-prep curriculum. The school is currently housed in the former Maria High School building. The former Pacelli building on Division Street is now home to the local YMCA. Pacelli High School became part of the Pacelli Catholic Schools system (called Stevens Point Area Catholic Schools until 2015) when consolidation of all the Catholic schools took place in 1986. [2]

Athletics

Pacelli's athletic teams are nicknamed the Cardinals, and they have been members of the Central Wisconsin Conference since 2000.
