Bishop Donahue Memorial High School was a private, Roman Catholic high school in McMechen, West Virginia. It was part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston. It was named after Bishop Patrick James Donahue (1849–1922), who served as the third Bishop of the Diocese of Wheeling from 1894 until his death in 1922. At the end of the 2016-2017 school year, Bishop Donahue High School closed. It was opened for 62 school years (1955 - 2017) and graduated 59 classes (1959 - 2017). Bishop Donahue High School was opened in September 1955. It graduated its first class in 1959. It was founded because of the need for a central high school to serve the Roman Catholics of Marshall County so that they would not have to travel great distances in order to obtain a Roman Catholic education beyond elementary school. Prior to its founding, the only other Roman Catholic high schools in the Upper Ohio Valley in the state of West Virginia were Wheeling Central Catholic High School in Ohio County and Weirton Madonna High School in Hancock County.
