Feeder Schools
At its inception in 1955, Bishop Donahue High School's feeder schools were Saint John School in Benwood, Saint Catherine School in Benwood (served by Saint John Parish), Saint James School in McMechen and Saint Francis Xavier School in Moundsville. Saint Catherine School closed in 1962 at the end of the 1961-1962 school year. In 1962, Our Lady of Peace Parish was founded in Mount Olivet in Marshall County, and its parish school became a feeder school of Bishop Donahue. In 1971, Saint John School in Benwood and Saint James School in McMechen were consolidated, thus becoming Saint James and Saint John School, which is located in Benwood. Saint Francis Xavier School in Moundsville closed in 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word schools:
“If Jesus, or his likeness, should now visit the earth, what church of the many which now go by his name would he enter? Or, if tempted by curiosity, he should incline to look into all, which do you think would not shut the door in his face?... It seems to me ... that as one who loved peace, taught industry, equality, union, and love, one towards another, Jesus were he alive at this day, would recommend you to come out of your churches of faith, and to gather into schools of knowledge.”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
