The school was formed in 1951 through the merger of two secondary schools: St. Catherine's Academy, founded in 1823, and Lexington Latin High, founded in 1924. Lexington Catholic moved to its current location in 1957.
In 2007, the school was named a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence.[4] It was the first high school in central Kentucky to receive the award.
