Archbishop Carroll was opened in September 1967 then officially dedicated and blessed on April 28, 1968 as two separate secondary schools. They were called Archbishop John Carroll High School for Boys and Archbishop John Carroll High School for Girls and were the final secondary schools under the building program instituted by Cardinal John Krol. The schools were named for John Carroll, the first bishop of the Catholic Church in the United States. Carroll's boys' school was staffed by the Lasallian Christian Brothers, while the girls' school was staffed by several religious orders of sisters. The two schools became co-educational in September 1986, assuming the name, Archbishop John Carroll High School. Today, the school is staffed by diocesan priests, Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Sisters of St. Joseph and lay personnel. The current student body numbers approximately 1010 (2010).
