Our Story & Our History

Hogan Prep is a part of Kansas City history!

Founded in 1942 and located in the heart of Kansas City, our High School was originally called Bishop Hogan. It was named after John Joseph Hogan, the first Bishop of the Diocese of Kansas City, Missouri.  Bishop Hogan operated as a private Catholic school until 1998. In 1999, Bishop Hogan became a public charter school and was renamed Hogan Preparatory Academy. It is one of the oldest charter schools in Missouri!  
 
Today, Hogan Preparatory Academy serves approximately 1,000 students per year. We are a tuition-free charter school within the Kansas City Public School boundaries.  Hogan Prep is a Title I school with a 100% free and reduced meal program.  Every Hogan Prep student is a unique individual with talent, passion, and the power to reach their greatest potential. We champion success through a community and culture of support, using education as a chance to transform curiosity into the positive pursuit of passion. We celebrate individuality and develop the confidence and skills to lead a life of impact, leadership, and legacy. We push our students to Do Amazing.
