[edit] History

Opened in September, 1967 and officially dedicated and blessed on April 28, 1968, Archbishop John Carroll High School for Boys and Archbishop John Carroll High School for Girls were the final secondary schools under the building program instituted by John Cardinal Krol. The schools were named for John Carroll, the first bishop of the Catholic Church in the United States. They became one in September 1986. Archbishop John Carroll High School is staffed by diocesan priests, Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Sisters of St. Joseph and lay personnel. Presently the student body numbers approximately 900.
