History

St. Mary High School was founded in 1891 in Lancaster, Ohio. It was renamed Bishop Fenwick High School in 1961. Fisher Catholic was built in 1971 at a new location north of downtown Lancaster.[2]

In 1986, The William V. Fisher Catholic High School Foundation was formed to promote and provide support for Catholic Education in the Lancaster, Ohio area.[3]

Clubs and activities

The school's Latin Club functions as a local chapter of both the Ohio Junior Classical League (OJCL)[4] and National Junior Classical League (NJCL).[5]

The school's formidable Quiz Team (Academic Challenge) is an actively competing club, representing the school since the mid-1980s. The quiz team won Ohio Academic Competition (OAC) State Championships in 2004 and 2006, NAQT Division II State Championship in 2006, and has won the local In The Know televised quiz bowl tournament in 2001, 2005, 2006 and 2007. The team finished second in the OAC state finals to Northmont High School in May 2014 and third in the overall NAQT state championship behind Northmont HS and Dublin Scioto HS. The program is among central Ohio's winningest regardless of discipline amongst Ohio high schools (academic/athletic).

gollark: PS#D7CD76C0 is that you could do those during queueEvent. I should probably assign a bug number to the Polychoron-based version.
gollark: Yes, basically.
