The school is named for John Carroll (1735-1815), the first bishop and subsequently the first archbishop of the United States. The school opened to students for the first time on August 18, 1961. The first class graduated May 31, 1965.
Carroll is noted for its strong academic curriculum. 99.4% of Carroll graduates went on to higher education and military service. The class of 2008 includes 16 National Merit Scholars. Around 56% of each graduating class receive more than 11 million dollars in scholarships, the highest of any secondary school in the Miami Valley.
Two graduates of Carroll High School have died in armed combat: Lance Corporal Dale Hess and Colonel Paul Kelly.[1]
Most of the faculty have advanced graduate degrees or similar training. Dual credits are offered in partnership with the University of Dayton. A variety of honors and Advanced Placement courses are also offered.
The Archdiocese provides grants for those students in need. Carroll also provides scholarships to outstanding students.
