History
Fay Hall, built in 1913

Powers Catholic was established in 1970 under the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lansing and bears of name of Luke M. Powers, a Villanova University educated pastor in Flint from 1929 to 1966.[1]

After 40 years at its original location just north of Flint in Mount Morris Township, Powers relocated to downtown Flint for the 2013-14 school year, with historic Fay Hall serving as the main academic building. As part of a 36 million dollar development approved in 2010, Fay Hall was restored and a 75,000-square-foot addition containing a gymnasium, chapel, library, theater and media center was added to the campus.[5]

Athletics

The Powers Catholic Chargers compete in the Saginaw Valley League. In 2015, the soccer, lacrosse and football teams began playing home games at Kettering University’s historic Atwood Stadium, following a $2 million restoration to the 11,000-seat stadium.[6] The following Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) sanctioned sports are offered:[2]
