RBC can trace its history back to 1867 where the pastor of neighboring St. James church founded a school in the basement of the church. The high school as it is known today was established in 1927.
The school adopted the name Caseys from Monsignor Joseph T. Casey, a retired rear admiral in the United States Navy, who began his career as a curate at St. James Parish in Red Bank. After retiring from the Navy in 1946 he returned to his first and only parish. He was a firm believer in the involvement of youth in the community and wanted to make sure that kids had organized programs to foster learning and fitness. Because of this, he used part of his Naval pension to hire a full coaching staff for teams at the high school, buy uniforms and equipment and organize the school band and orchestra. [9]
The Red Bank Catholic High School Caseys [3] compete in Division A Central of the Shore Conference, an athletic conference comprised of public and private high schools in Monmouth and Ocean counties along the Jersey Shore.
