It is part of the Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools. MCHS is the only high school serving the Morinville community.[2][3][4] The school was founded in November 1994 and teaches students from grade 9-12. Their athletic teams are called the "Prairie Wolves," or just the "Wolves." HistoryMorinville was for a long time served by high schools in neighbouring towns: the much older and larger settlement of St. Albert to the south, and the small agricultural village of Legal to the north. The Grey Nuns had established a small convent, schoolhouse, and hospital in what was to become the settlement of St. Albert in 1864. The Catholic Church continued to dominate education in the region even after the first public school boards were formed, as most the population was Catholic. In the earliest days, each school had its own board, and St. Albert had a school board as early as 1885 when both St. Albert Roman Catholic Public District no. 3 and nearby Bellerose Roman Catholic Public District no. 6 were both formed to operate one-room schools that went up to grade 8, the legal requirement at the time (Bellerose School was later moved to Fort Edmonton Park where it still stands). The first school district founded in the Morinville area was the Thibault Roman Catholic School Public District. The school was named after the founder, Father Thibault who started a mission and a school in 1892. Nearby Legal, Alberta got its school district in 1907, and later a secondary school: St. Emile High School. Morinville then had the same schooling situation for several decades, with elementary in town, and high schools to the north and south. The most notable change of that period was in 1980 when French immersion was officially offered in the Morinville schools, reversing decades of "English-only" policy in what that originally been a francophone settlement. In 1993, Legal’s St. Emile High School closed. The Thibault School District opened Morinville Community High School on November 3, 1994. The first principal of MCHS was Paul O’Dea. On January 1, 1995, the three main schools in Legal and Morinville were joined into the Greater St. Albert Catholic Regional Division or GSACRD as part of a wave of school board consolidations across Alberta at that time. When MCHS was first opened the grade 9 hallway was not part of the school. It was only added later when the number of grade 9s in G.H. Primeau School was too high.
