About Seton

Seton chapel resizedEnriched with exceptional academics in a faith-based education, Seton offers a college-prep comprehensive curriculum with 15 advanced placement classes and volumes of course electives.  We are proud to be the only Catholic high school to be included in the C-STEP Program (Science, Technology, Engineering Program) funded by the National Science Foundation and based at the University of Cincinnati.
 
Through the leadership of the Sisters of Charity, Seton instructs and challenges their students to thrive in an environment that promotes exceptional growth, preparing young women for their future. 

Seton offers an wireless, state-of-the-art campus. All freshmen, sophomores, and juniors have personal Tablet PCs. Experienced staff knowledgeable not in their respective fields and technology, present curriculum by incorporating the best practices in education. 

Seton offers five science labs, and a gymnasium with two regulation-size courts, video scoreboard, practice facilities and a weight room for conditioning.  Seton also houses a  Commons gathering space, Chapel, art wing, and a 1,000-seat Performance Theatre, home of the Seton-Elder Performance Series, now in its 40th year. Students and guests can access our three level parking garage from the Vincent Avenue entrance.

All students participate in community service.  With over 30 co-curricular activities, 12 varsity sports and an exceptional fine arts program, Seton offers something for everyone. This year's all school invites students, parents, alumnae and friends to "Be the author of your own Seton Story."

 

The Seton Crest
Like Seton High School, its crest has a rich and storied past. 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 from 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.

Seton's motto is "Hazard Yet Forward".
