Originally known as Elizabeth Seton High School, named in honor of Elizabeth Bayley Seton, the first native-born American saint and foundress of the Sisters of Charity, the school upheld its four founding cornerstones of Faith, Leadership, Scholarship and Community. Initially an all-girls school, it became coeducational in 2003. [1]
