Bishop Verot High School is a private, Roman Catholic high school in Fort Myers, Florida. It is located in the Diocese of Venice, Florida.
Bishop Verot Catholic High School was established in 1962 as Fort Myers Central Catholic High School. The school was renamed "Bishop Verot", after Bishop Augustin Vérot, when they moved to their newly-constructed location in 1964. Suzie O'Grady is currently serving as the principal.[2]
The school's sports teams are nicknamed the "Vikings." The outdoor teams play on field turf installed in 2005. The indoor teams play in the John J. Nevins Gymnasium, which played host to the City of Palms Classic from 1994 to 2015.
Bishop Verot has claimed six state championships in its 50-year history: 1984 (volleyball), 1994 (baseball), 2001 (boys' soccer), 2010 (boys' soccer), 2011 (baseball) and most recently, 2016 (softball).
