History

St. Mary High School was established in 1900. Resurrection High School was established in 1935. In 1963, St. Mary High School was closed and Monsignor John W. O'Rafferty High School was opened in Delta Township. At the same time, Resurrection High School was closed and Monsignor John H. Gabriels High School was opened at the corner of W. Saginaw and Marshall St. Due to financial struggles, the two schools were consolidated in 1970 on the Gabriels campus and the school was renamed Lansing Catholic Central High School. It was later again renamed Lansing Catholic High School. The O'Rafferty Campus was sold to Michigan National Bank and became its primary vault and partial headquarters. The site, located on W. Saginaw Hwy, is still in operation as a call center for LaSalle Bank.^[2]
