History

Heyde Center for the Arts- original Catholic high school

The first McDonell Catholic High School was built in 1907, on a site overlooking downtown Chippewa Falls. It is listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places.

Later this building was vacant for a period after the diocese relocated the high school to a larger, more suburban facility. It was purchased by the Chippewa Valley Cultural Association and converted in 2000 into the Heyde Center for the Arts.

McDonell Central Catholic High School is located at 1316 Bel Air Boulevard.
