Elder High School

Archbishop Elder High School is a parochial high school in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.

History

The cornerstone was laid in 1922. Named for William Henry Elder, third bishop and Archbishop of Cincinnati, the school was the first Catholic Archdiocesan high school in the city. Eventually twelve other such schools were constructed in the Greater Cincinnati area. Eleven original parishes of the Western Hills were the true founders of the school and served as "feeder parishes" for students. The first graduating class was in 1923, with eight students graduating in the year of the school's opening. Since its founding, nearly 20,000 students have graduated from the school.
