St. Paul Diocesan Junior-Senior High School is a private, Roman Catholic high school in Worcester, Massachusetts, United States, associated with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Worcester. It was established on the site of Holy Name Central Catholic Junior Senior High School. [2]
Holy Name High School opened on September 14, 1942. The new high school offered a bilingual program in French and English. By 1946, student enrollment had grown to 122 students and, in 1957, Holy Name’s status was changed to a Central Catholic High School. On September 24, 1967, the school moved from Illinois Street to Granite Street when Bishop Bernard Flanagan dedicated the new building.

In December 2019, the Archdiocese of Worcester announced that the school would close at the end of the academic year and merge with St. Peter-Marian, creating a new school, St. Paul Diocesan Junior/Senior High School, located on the site of Holy Name. [3]
Holy Name was the first high school in the state of Massachusetts to be powered by a wind turbine [4] after the 1984 installation of a 40 kilowatt turbine beside Hull High School, which was upgraded to 660 kilowatts in 2001. The 242-foot Holy Name turbine generated enough electricity for the entire school. [5]
The project, four years in the making, began when the school president Mary Riordan, facing steep energy bills at the school, asked Worcester Polytechnic Institute students to study whether they could take advantage of the school's windy campus.
Later, the Sisters of Saint Anne, who founded the school, gave the school $50,000 to pay a consultant to research the details. The total project cost was $1.5 million. [6] [7]
