The Seton Keough High school is an All-Girls Private, Roman-Catholic High School in Baltimore, Maryland. Located at 1201 Caton Avenue just inside the city line of Baltimore. It was formed by the merging of the two Catholic schools, Archbishop Keough and Seton High School. Its mascot is the Gator (named Allie Gator). Their main rival is Mount de Sales Academy, another Catholic all girls school in the area. Currently, the cafeteria is painted a funny shade of pink and has dancing gators all over it. It used to be mint green. Hopefully nothing else will be painted pink seeing as the school colors are "forest green and grey". Grey comes from Seton High School; Green from Archbishop Keough. These colors are reflected in the uniform. There is a spring uniform and a winter uniform. The spring uniform is a pale green kilt worn with a white polo shirt and white socks. The winter uniform is a forest green plaid kilt worn with a white polo shirt, a forest green sweater, green tights or blue knee socks. On mass days, the formal uniform must be worn. Other days, the girls can wear their Seton Keough sweatshirt with their uniform.
The theater department became active again in 2002 with their version of the play "Anything Goes". The play was wonderfully done and very successful.
There is also a blue magnetic button hiding somewhere around the school. Students are encouraged to find it.
Usually the seniors play a prank on the school. The class of 2004 set the example for impressive pranks (which included putting all of the desks in the hallways, putting tiny upside-down cups filled with water in the hallways, putting locusts in classrooms, putting goldfish in the toilets, putting road cones on the roof, putting Vaseline on the doorknobs, switching teachers' items, and writing messages in shaving cream on the mirrors). The class of 2005 did not pull a prank at all.
There is a class wide contest at Seton Keough called "Year Day". A theme for the event is chosen (such as Disney movies, board games etc) and each class must decorate a hallway, write a song, perform a dance and a skit in respect to the theme and a board of teachers judges them and picks a winner. Also in the contest, there are other games such as pie eating contests and tug of war. Unlike what most people might think, the seniors do not always win. The class of 2004 won their sophomore and senior years and the class of 2005 lost both their freshman and sophomore years.
