Background

St. Wendelin Catholic School was founded in 1887. Its first graduating class was 1910 and consisted of one student.

They were part of the Sandusky Bay Conference and competed in cross country, golf, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, track, softball, and baseball. On March 19, 2013 the Sandusky River League voted 6–0 to accept St. Wendelin as a full-time member. This was a result of the MAL's demise following the 2013–14 school year. The SRL was then absorbed by the SBC for the 2016–17 school year. For one season during the 2016–17 school year St. Wendelin joined the Freelance conference for football only.

St. Wendelin's football team was previously in the Lansing-based Christian Athletic League of America, which was made up of 14 teams from the tri-state area composed of players from schools that did not offer football, home-schooled youngsters and students who did not wish to play on their own school's team.[2]

Closing

On April 21, 2017, St. Wendelin High School announced it would close in June following the 2016–17 school year.[3] The primary concerns were finances and a dwindling enrollment (one-third of its 100 students at the time were graduating seniors). The St. Wendelin Parish will continue to operate a K-8 school at the same location on Countyline Street. Although the old wing of the building will not be occupied.

gollark: Did you know? You (general) should enter the Apiaristics Division™.
