History
Initially, the school was administered by brothers and priests of the Society of Mary (Marianists). Archbishop Mitty High School opened in the fall of 1964 with an inaugural enrollment of 189 male students, with classes initially held on the campus of the adjacent Queen of Apostles Elementary School. The newly constructed high school facilities were occupied in April 1965.
In 1969, Archbishop Mitty expanded its student body and began sharing academic programs with Mother Butler Memorial High School—located on the site of the present-day Harker School upper school campus—and St. Lawrence Girls High School. The consolidation of the three schools was completed by the fall of 1972. Following the establishment of the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Jose in 1981, Archbishop Mitty became the only high school owned and administered by the diocese.
