Holy Redeemer High School, although created in 2007, enjoys the benefits and the history of the many religious communities which founded Catholic education in Luzerne County of the Diocese of Scranton. The faith-filled traditions and academic excellence continue to give witness to the viability of the school. Holy Redeemer High School continues to provide a climate conducive to academic achievement, spiritual development, athletic prowess and social maturity according to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.
July 2007 was the start of the inaugural year of Holy Redeemer High School through the merger of four Luzerne County Catholic High Schools, namely Bishop Hafey High School (Hazleton), Bishop Hoban High School (Wilkes-Barre), Bishop O’Reilly High School (Kingston), and Seton Catholic High School (Pittston). The new school would be known formally as Holy Redeemer High School, the community of the Royals, and would boast the colors red, white and gold, symbols of faith, hope and love.
