The John Carroll School, established in 1964, is a private, independent, college-preparatory, co-educational Catholic school for grades 9–12. It is located on 87 acres (350,000 m2) in Bel Air, Maryland, United States, about 30 minutes' drive north of Baltimore in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore.
The school is named after John Theodore Carroll, the first Catholic bishop and archbishop in the United States, serving as the ordinary of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore.
History
In the early 1960s Lawrence Shehan decided to build an Archdiocesan Catholic high school on an 87-acre (350,000 m2) site in Bel Air, Harford County. The John Carroll School opened to 202 freshmen on September 9, 1964 under the leadership of Raymond Wanner. From its earliest days the school was run by clergy, religious, and laity.
Students in grades 9–12 attend the school. John Carroll draws students from the Baltimore metropolitan area, especially Harford, Baltimore and Cecil Counties, as well as southern Pennsylvania.[3]
