Sexual battery is a third-degree felony.
Clark County Prosecutor Dan Driscoll said Catholic Central administrators have cooperated in the investigation.
McKenna is no longer employed at the school, Driscoll said.
Catholic Central President Mike Raiff sent an email to the school community Monday that said they were contact by Springfield police regarding McKenna.
“During the conversation, we learned that high school Social Studies teacher Mr. Michael McKenna was indicted on six counts of sexual battery involving a former student,” the email read. “Mr. McKenna has been terminated from his position at Catholic Central.”
Raiff said in the email the school is “committed to cooperating fully with law enforcement in their investigation.”
“We have no further comment at this time due to the ongoing nature of the investigation,” the spokesperson for the Cincinnati Archdiocese said on behalf of the school.
McKenna is set to be arraigned Thursday and has been issued a summons to appear.
The school’s website previously listed McKenna as the U.S. History, World History & Government teacher, but it now says “TBD.”
He was also the former football coach at Catholic Central and resigned that job in 2019 after four seasons, according to a previous News-Sun story.
