History
Monsignor Scanlan High School was initially established in 1949 as two schools, St. Helena's High School for Boys and St. Helena's High School for Girls. Both schools were formed by Monsignor Arthur J. Scanlan, founding pastor of St. Helena's Church. He also founded the parish elementary school in 1940. Both high schools were renamed in Scanlan's honor in 1972 and merged to form one coeducational high school in 1976. The parish also operated a commercial high school from 1956 to 2002.

Located near the foot of the Whitestone Bridge, Monsignor Scanlan High School sits on a suburban-like 13-acre oasis campus in the Throggs Neck section of The Bronx, just minutes from northern Queens. Students residing in The Bronx, Queens and Manhattan constitute the majority of the pupil population. Several connecting MTA bus lines accommodate students traveling to Scanlan from different points in Queens, The Bronx and Manhattan.
