Regina High School was a private, Catholic all-girls high school located in South Euclid, Ohio. It was run by the Sisters of Notre Dame, who also run Notre Dame College, which is located next door. It was a part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cleveland. Approximately one fifth of the teachers were nuns; the remaining teachers were both male and female lay persons. The school offered the students the ability to grow in an environment that supported them and encouraged them to be who they are. The school announced in October 2009 that the 2009-2010 school year would be its last. Regina's last day of classes was June 4, 2010. Athletics The school was most notable for its basketball team, the Regina Royals, who were state champions in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, and 2009. The school also had soccer, volleyball, tennis, cross country, swimming, bowling, track and field, and softball teams.

Regina High School was noted in the greater Cleveland Catholic community for its Clown Ministry, a group that dons face paints and performs sign language that is often religious in nature. The club performs the Stations of the Cross (set to contemporary music) every year and raises money for charities. This ministry works and dedicates their time to have a positive impact on others lives. Visiting nursing homes, serving meals at hunger centers, raising money for various organizations in need, and many other activities show only a portion of how loving and giving these girls truly are. Regina's newsmagazine, the Regent, has won awards from the Northeast Ohio Scholastic Press Association for its writing and layout. Most recently, in 2009, the Regent was awarded a first-place ranking. One other notable extracurricular activity Regina hosts is its produced musicals or plays. Past shows include Bye Bye Birdie, Honk!, Once Upon a Mattress, The Wizard of Oz, Anne of Green Gables and Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella, and most recently Disney's Beauty and the Beast. The summer student-directed plays include Alice in Wonderland, The Canterbury Tales, Snow White, and Rumpelstiltskin. Performances include young male actors mainly from Benedictine High School, Saint Ignatius High School, and Mayfield High School.
