Corpus Christi Catholic School, in Mobile, Alabama, was founded in 1933, as St. Mary’s Mission School, to provide a Catholic education for students financially unable to attend a Catholic school closer to town. Reverend Bernard McKenna opened the new Corpus Christi Catholic School in 1958, offering kindergarten through eighth grade. The school was served by the Sisters of Mercy of the Union, Province of Baltimore, and later by the Irish Sisters of Mercy.

In 1990, the United States Department of Education recognized Corpus Christi Catholic School for its academic excellence by making it a Blue Ribbon School. In 1991, the decision was made to expand the school by adding one classroom per year starting with kindergarten. Corpus Christi was fully doubled at the beginning of the 1999-2000 school year. New classroom buildings opened in January of 1996 and in the spring of 1998. A new gymnasium was dedicated in the fall of 1996. An art and music wing was added in the spring of 2000. Renovations of the computer lab were completed in the fall of 2000. Construction of a new cafeteria and community center was completed in November of 2005. The library was renovated in the summer of 2006. The science lab was updated in 2010. The gym activity room was renovated to make space for boys and girls locker rooms in the spring of 2011.
