[edit] History

Seton was founded as Mount St. Vincent Academy in 1854 and changed the named for Elizabeth Ann Seton on September 12, 1927. [1][2]

Sponsored by the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, Seton has always provided the highest quality spiritual, academic, and social programs in a comprehensive curriculum to young women. Since its earliest days, Seton has been fully accredited by the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges and is an active member of the National Catholic Education Association.

[edit] The Crest

The crosses are from the crest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, and the plowshare represents the City of Cincinnati named after the Society of Cincinnati which is named after Cincinnatus, the Roman farmer who became the famous general of Rome.

The cedar tree symbolizes Cedar Grove, the popular name of the academy established on this site in 1857. The school was renamed Seton High School in 1928.

The wavy bars suggest the Ohio River and the Motherhouse of the Sisters of Charity at Mount St. Joseph-on-the-Ohio.

The three crescents are derived from the Seton Family Coat of Arms.

[edit] Elizabeth Ann Seton

In 1794, Elizabeth Ann Bayley married William M. Seton. They had five children.

William died while he and Elizabeth were on a business trip in Italy, and there Elizabeth became acquainted with the Catholic faith.

In 1808, she founded the Sisters of Charity in America and is often credited with founding the Catholic School System. Before her death in 1821, she sent four of her sisters to Cincinnati. They lived at Cedar Grove and were the original members of a new congregation: The Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati. In 1975, Elizabeth Seton became the first canonized saint born in the United States of America.
