History
In 1952 three area Catholic high schools were consolidated as Central Catholic High School under the direction of Archbishop John P. Hurley. In 1953 Central Catholic was re-dedicated and named for Bishop William John Kenny, the third bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of St. Augustine.
In 1989, Father Michael Houle was named President of Bishop Kenny. Over the last 20 years more than $20 million dollars have been raised and invested to improve the school.
