Mullen High School was named forJohn Kernan Mullen, businessman, philanthropist, and founder of the Colorado Milling and Elevator Company.[1] With his wife, Catherine, Mullen envisioned founding a high school in Denver for orphaned boys. In 1928, working withHenry Tihen, Mullen contactedEdward Flanagan, the founder ofBoys Town, for advice on how best to design and operate such a school. Following Flanagan's recommendation, Mullen wrote to the Christian Brothers of St. John Baptist de La Salle inSanta Fe, New Mexico, inviting them to be his planned school's directors and teachers.
In June 1928, Mullen opened negotiations with the De La Salle Christian Brothers. However, both Catherine and John Mullen died before the project could be completed, but their daughters and their husbands carried on with their plans. They purchased a 420-acre (1.7 km2) plot of land on the outskirts of Denver known as the Shirley Farm Dairy. An agreement was made that would allow the dairy to remain in operation in exchange for the students’ opportunity to work in the dairy and receive training in agriculture and mechanics. On April 8, 1932, 17 boys and three brothers moved into the new J.K. Mullen Home for Boys.
Since then, Mullen High School has experienced four distinct eras of change and growth:
