The school was named for Bishop Francis Kelley, the second bishop of Oklahoma, as well as an accomplished author and diplomat. Founded in 1960, Bishop Kelley was created to provide a citywide Catholic school for Tulsa; at the time of its founding, Holy Family High School (which dates back to 1899) and Marquette High School (which dates back to 1926) closed and consolidated their student bodies at the new school.
Kelley is a comprehensive secondary school with a curriculum that is college preparatory with classes to fit a variety of learning abilities and interests. Bishop Kelley come from 53 different zip codes and BK freshmen come from more than 30 middle schools in northeast Oklahoma. Students come from a variety of faith and educational backgrounds. They are welcomed with extensive freshman orientation activities. Transfer students are also welcome. Bishop Kelley is the only diocesan Catholic high school in the Diocese of Tulsa.
Bishop Kelley serves Catholic and non-Catholic families of all faiths in Tulsa and the surrounding communities who seek a life preparatory program within a Christian environment.
