History

[edit]

Bishop Verot Catholic High School was established in 1969 as Fort Myers Central Catholic High School. The school was renamed "Bishop Verot", after Bishop Augustin Vérot, when they moved to their newly-constructed location in 1980. Suzie O’Grady is currently serving as the principal.[2]
