Founded in 1943, Resurrection Catholic School is the educational ministry of Resurrection Catholic Missions of the South, Inc. The priests and brothers of the Congregation of the Resurrection and the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, initially staffed the school.
In 1964 the Resurrection Catholic School and other programs of Resurrection Catholic Missions moved to a new multi-million-dollar campus on Forbes Drive. By 1990, the Sisters of the Holy Family had withdrawn from ministry at the school. In 1992 Ressurection Catholic School merged with St. John the Baptist School, founded by the Josephite Fathers and Brothers and St. Katherine Drexel and her Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament. The Brothers of the Sacred Heart administered the school for the next several years.
In recent years the Congregation of the Resurrection, in collaboration with religious sisters from several different congregations and dedicated laity, has maintained the tradition of excellent academic and character formation, which have been hallmarks of the school. Resurrection is a member of the National Catholic Educational Association, is affiliated with the Archdiocese of Mobile, and is accredited by the Cognia Global Commission/SACS. In addition, Resurrection is accredited by the Commission on International and Trans-Regional Accreditation (CITA) in Pre-K through the eighth grade and attests to the quality of academics offered at Resurrection Catholic School.
