Imagine Renaissance and Derrick Thomas Academies have closed for a few years now here in KC and today the KCMOSD announced Southwest will close spring of 2016. St. Mary's (Independence MO) closed I believe in 2008-09. As for other KCMOSD schools both Paseo (long ago) and Westport (2011 or so I think) also closed. Give me a night of sleep (just got home from work) and I will get you more later today.
Greenfield went to 8 man, Greenwood in Springfield cut football back in the 90's
Mansfield (only 1 year or 2?, either 1930s or early 40s), Licking (I believe quit in the 1960s), and Doniphan (1980s I believe). We used to have this info on the SCA site before the site got hacked (theyre still working on archive info but the site is back up). Also Springfield Greenwood in late 90s or early 2000s.
Miami fun fact: scott bailey took miami to the state title game back in 01
Having a 6-2, 230 lb running back with 4.6 speed didn't hurt that year.
Aren't they co-oping with Drexel? That is not the same as dropping. I also wouldn't count Golden City since they are co-oping with Lockwood. Otherwise, you could count the following as dropping too:
Hardin-Central (w/ Norborne)
Nodaway-Holt (w/ South Holt)
Fairfax (w/ Tarkio)
Craig (w/ Mound City)
Union Star (w/ King City)
West Nodaway (w/ North Nodaway)

Missouri School for the Deaf still has a football team. They just don't play in the playoffs any more.
same for Wentworth, Hoops Tournament.
. I have a question for the original post. What time frame are you talking about? The last 10 years? Last 20 years? In the early days of football, there were a lot of schools that used to have football teams 60, 70, 80 years ago.. Chillicothe played Meadville in football a few times in the early years. Breckenridge had football up until the 60's I think, maybe early 70s. Two very small towns.

From what I understand, it will be the same "school" (factulty/students) with a new building/name/colors/mascot...
Original intent was for St. Michael the Archangel to replace not just O'Hara but also St. Mary's. Built where it is to draw from the population shift to Eastern Jackson County. I think it will be considered a new school much as O'Hara was when it was built to match the shift to the suburbs.
Those Paul Monteil lead O'Hara wishbone teams of the late 1970's and 1980's were some pretty good squads.
True but St Mary's enrollment kept dropping so closed 2 years earlier than planned, students given option to finish at O'Hara. 2016 football season last for O'Hara and 2017 first for St Michael the Archangel Guardians. They plan to have some sort of tribute to all the closed schools in the KC diocese. O'Hara, St. Mary's, De La Salle, Lillis, Glennon and Hogan. Hogan really didn't close but became a charter school not under control of the diocese.
Depends on your point of view. If playing under name of one school I consider the other school as dropped football. In Kansas a few teams have 'dropped football' in favor of a co-op. Some as combination of both schools names with new mascot, combined schools names with mascot of one school, new team and mascot names, and more often as not the one that 'dropped to co-op' is not even mentioned in team name. I have seen co-op changes between schools. Craig did that switching from Fairfax to Mound City. Think Miami at first co-op with Butler before Drexel. Even teams that co-oped for years suddenly field own team again. Kansas example (Wetmore no team for 16 years as co-op with Concordia in 2015 restarted football).
Linn quit football in the early to mid 70's. Blair Oaks bought their equipment and used it to start their program
I'm pretty sure KU disbanded their program and made it a club sport. 
There was also Redemptorist in a KC Catholic league.
La Plata was a member of the Quint cities as was McCooey back in the 50s and maybe early 60s. Holy Rosary in Monroe City stopped in the 30s. I do not know when Mercy of Marshall quit/closed.
Before Helias there was St. Peters, before Springfield Catholic, St. Agnes, before Bishop LeBlond, Christian Brothers and before Notre Dame, St. Mary's.
Also, in the black school days, CC Hubbard of Sedalia, Douglas of Columbia, and Lincoln of Jeff City all played fb. There were some others as well, I am sure.

Holy Rosary still has football. It is just junior high because they closed their high school in 1968.
I coached at Gainesville in the early 80's we jumped in SCA after only 3 years of JV it was
a horrible decision. I was there for 27 straight losses. They lost 67 in a row beat a small school
in AR. and dropped football next year, they got within one game of national record. Maplewood
dropped football with very little interest, they where a power house a couple of years before dropping program, their coach left and the program got bad and then dropped. Kennedy dropped football this year due to small numbers and now the school will close at the end of the year. Baratt academy dropped football this year.

Holy Rosary HS closed the 65-66 school. The JH program started the following year.
I think the question though was about HS.
Golden City disbanded football for about 20 years before co-oping with Lockwood
Redemptorist and Glennon both in KC Catholic League last year of football was 1959. The next year both became all girls schools. As for all black schools Joplin, St Louis Sumer, St Louis Vashon, St Loius Washington Tech, KC Lincoln and KC R.T. Coles were other I know of. Have to check to make sure but think Springfield also had a black school team but dropped before the 40s.
Kyle Dubray. Upon further review he may have been closer to 6-2, 200 but he was a man among boys that season.
Maybe it was already mentioned but St Joseph used to have a CBC high school that played football.
