Messmer High School was established in 1926 as Diocesan High School. It was renamed after Archbishop Sebastian Messmer in 1928.[2]
From September 1997 to September 1998, due to a school voucher program, the number of students increased by almost 20%, to 366, and 30 students were on a wait list as of the latter month; years prior, the school did not have a waiting list.[3]
