Archbishop Carroll High School opened in 1951 and expressed the vision of
Patrick A. O'Boyle, the first archbishop of the Archdiocese of Washington, who felt strongly that the Catholic Church should lead by example in the area of integration. Named in honor of
John Carroll, the first Catholic archbishop in the United States, the school offered a college preparatory education for young men, regardless of race or ethnicity. For its first 40 years, the
Augustinian Friars operated Archbishop Carroll.[1]
In 1989, the Archdiocese of Washington closed three of its four high schools—the all boys' Mackin, and girls' schools All Saints and Holy Spirit—leaving one, Archbishop Carroll.[11]
As of the 2019-2020 School Year, Archbishop Carroll High School has transitioned to pre-Advanced Placement (PreAP) and
Advanced Placement (AP) coursework.[citation needed]
