Luke M. Powers Catholic High School is a coeducational private Roman Catholic high school located in Flint, Michigan serving students in grades 9–12 under the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lansing.
History[]
Powers Catholic was established in 1970 under the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lansing and bears of name of Luke M. Powers, a Villanova University educated pastor in Flint from 1929 to 1966.[3]
After 40 years at its original location just north of Flint in Mount Morris Township, Powers relocated to downtown Flint for the 2013-14 school year, with historic Fay Hall serving as the main academic building. As part of a 36 million dollar development approved in 2010, Fay Hall was restored and a 75,000-square-foot addition containing a gymnasium, chapel, library, theater and media center was added to the campus.[5]
Athletics[]
The Powers Catholic Chargers compete in the Saginaw Valley League. In 2015, the soccer, lacrosse and football teams began playing home games at Kettering University’s historic Atwood Stadium, following a $2 million restoration to the 11,000-seat stadium.[6] The following Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) sanctioned sports are offered:[2]
