Wildwood Catholic Academy Historical Marker

For the past 12 years we've been documenting the historical markers that we come across during our road trips across America. Millions of people pass by them every day and don't give them a second look. We're here to change that. These historical markers contain information about the local area and are a great learning experience. Especially if you're into our country's history.

While on vacation in North Wildwood, New Jersey we stumbled upon a new historical marker that was recently put in by the city of North Wildwood to mark the history of the Wildwood Catholic Academy. Here's the information.

Wildwood Catholic Academy

Ground was broken on August 18th, 1947 for the county's only Catholic high school, originally to be called St. Ann's High School. Bishopb Eustace and Monsignor Quinlan blessed the cornstone on July 11, 1948. Students entered Wildwood Catholic High School that fall. Additions were dedicated in 1959 and 1999. Cape Trinity Catholic School began sharing space in the building in 2010, and in 2020 the High School and Cape Trinity combined to form Wildwood Catholic Academy.
