Bishop Ludden-Grimes Junior/Senior High School is a private, Catholic high school in Syracuse, New York in the United States. It is located within the Diocese of Syracuse.
History Bishop Ludden–Grimes Junior/Senior High School was established in 2025 through the consolidation of Bishop Ludden Junior/Senior High School and Bishop Grimes Junior/Senior High School. The school is named in honor of the first two bishops of the Diocese of Syracuse: Bishop Patrick Anthony Ludden and Bishop John Grimes. In February 2025, the Diocese of Syracuse announced that Bishop Grimes Junior/Senior High School and Bishop Ludden Junior/Senior High School would close at the end of the 2024–25 academic year. The two schools were merged to form a single institution, Bishop Ludden–Grimes Junior/Senior High School, located on the former Bishop Ludden campus. Following the 2025 consolidation of Bishop Ludden and Bishop Grimes, students from the formerly rival schools were integrated into a single student body. Reports noted that students experienced an initial period of adjustment as they adapted to a shared academic and social environment. The school's architectural design is cruciform, with a central chapel located at the center of the building.
