History

In January 1960 three Christian Brothers opened St Kieran's. They had the care for the education of the Catholic boys of Mount Isa from Grades 5 to 10. In 1965 the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart opened San Jose College for girls. San Jose School educated girls until 1985 when it merged with Saint Kieran's College at St Kieran's site. The new co-educational school was named Mount Isa Catholic High School. The "old" San Jose premises became St. Joseph's Primary School.
