History

[edit]

Mount Alvernia High School was established in 1936 and is located on the grounds of the Franciscan Sisters of Millvale.[2]

The school was closed in June 2011 due to declining enrollment.[3]

In 2022, the Mount Alvernia campus, including the school and a chapel, was sold to a real estate development group.[4]
