History

Archbishop John Carroll High School was opened in September 1967. It is named after John Carroll, the first Catholic Bishop of the United States. In April 1968, the school was officially dedicated and blessed. Originally two separate secondary schools, Archbishop John Carroll for Boys and Archbishop John Carroll for Girls were the final secondary schools completed under the building program instituted by Archbishop John Krol. The two schools merged and became co-educational in September 1986, assuming the name Archbishop John Carroll High School. The school was formerly staffed by the Christian brothers and the Sisters of St. Joseph, but now predominantly by lay personnel. On April 28–29, 2018 Archbishop Carroll celebrated its 50th anniversary. [5]
