Melbourne Central Catholic High School's humble beginnings started as a dream of three local pastors who were steadfast in encouraging the school's emergence in a community where no Catholic high school existed. Their inspiration, along with the patronage of the Most Reverend Joseph P. Hurley P.D., Archbishop of St. Augustine, resulted in breaking ground in 1961 for Brevard County's first Catholic high school.
Buildings were erected on 40.59 acres positioned on East Florida Avenue in Melbourne, FL. During the building of the school, students occupied rented barracks across from the Melbourne Airport, which was shared with Brevard Engineering College. In 1962, four Franciscan Sisters of Allegany, NY, joined the faculty.

MCC is truly the elite High School on the Space Coast. The leadership of this school has a very clear vision on how to ensure they provide the best possible preparatory education AND experience. And they execute on that vision. Every young person is better after graduating than when they first arrived.
