Bishop O’Connell High School is a Roman Catholic college preparatory school in Huntsdale, Pennsylvania. It serves all grades and is the setting for much of Wicked Lovely and Ink Exchange during Aislinn Foy and Leslie's senior years of high school. Keenan pretends to be of age to attend high school during the first novel, but quickly graduates or transfers once Aislinn becomes the Summer Queen.
Religion[]
It is assumed that Bishop O'Connell High School follows the religion of Roman Catholicism. There are many religious items scattered throughout the buildings which makes faeries uncomfortable, though it does not harm them. The staff is composed entirely of religious figures such as priests and nuns as evidenced by the students referring to them as "father" or "sister". Aislinn Foy notes that, despite being a religious school, the faculty and staff firmly support female equality and do not tolerate the male students harassing the female students.
The school maintains a strict code of conduct in which students are expected to be well behaved. A student who is caught to partake in unsavory activities is immediately disciplined and their parents informed, this often resulting in on campus counseling sessions. The dress code states that students must wear a uniform and are not permitted to wear makeup or have facial piercings.

Real Life Campus[]
The high school appears to be based off of the real Bishop Denis J. O'Connell High School (also known as DJO) which is a Roman Catholic college preparatory school in Arlington County, Virginia. It was established by the Diocese of Richmond, but has been under the direction of the Diocese of Arlington since 1974. The school is named for Bishop Denis J. O'Connell, Bishop of Richmond from 1912 to 1926. At this time, there is no further information to affirmatively state that the schools are one in the same.
