Mission

Mission Statement
In the tradition of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, and through the charism of the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, Seton High School develops young women of faith, service and leadership within a Catholic Christian community and provides academic excellence to a diverse student population.

Vision Statement
Seton High School will be the school of choice for a diverse population of young women.  Seton will excel in delivering academic, social, physical and moral development.  Seton students will know their Catholic/Christian faith and choose to live the Gospel, collaborating with those they serve in responding to the needs of the community.  As creative, critical thinkers, excelling in analytical problem solving skills, the Seton graduate will be prepared to meet the demands of a changing world as a mature, self-confident young woman of faith and values.

Seton will be staffed by faith-filled administrators, faculty and staff who study, reflect and respond proactively to trends in education, society and the Church.  They will provide curriculum offerings and utilize instructional stategies that meet the needs of all students.  As models of Christian values, they will create a challenging, nurturing environment which empowers the young women to recognize and appreciate their unique talents and capabilities.

Seton High School will be a welcoming community with affordable tuition, state of the art facilities, and modernly equipped classrooms.  Strong financial stewardship will guarantee its future.

Seton, through its patroness, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, will continue to guide and influence the lives of its alumnae and friends.

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".
