Historical NotesVincentian Academy Royals basketball uniform jersey worn by Tony DiNardo. DiNardo was named the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Western PA Class A Boys' Basketball Player of the Year in 2013. Vincentian Academy won its first WPIAL Boy's Basketball Championship in 2011. The second followed in 2013. Coach George Yokitis was known for helping his players develop into mature and responsible high school students. Vincentian High School opened in 1932 as an all girl’s Catholic high school. The original class consisted of all Sisters until 1939 and was taught exclusively by Sisters until the 1960s. It remained an all-girls school until 1971. In 1994 the school became Vincentian Academy-Duquesne University until 2010 when they stopped their partnership with Duquesne and became Vincentian Academy until their closing in 2020. The last graduating class was completed virtually due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
