Seton High School is a parochial all-female, college-preparatory high school in the Price Hill neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.
Seton was founded as Mount St. Vincent Academy in 1854. It was also known as Cedar Grove. With the arrival of Elder High School's girls' department, Cedar Grove was renamed Elizabeth Ann Seton on September 12, 1927.
Sponsored by the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, Seton has always provided the highest quality spiritual, academic, and social programs in a comprehensive curriculum to young women. Since its earliest days, Seton has been fully accredited by the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges and is an active member of the National Catholic Education Association.
Seton High School holds the motto "Hazard Yet Forward".
As of the 2015-2016 school year, Seton has introduced a housing system that divides the student body into four houses.
O'Connell, named after Sister Mary O'Connell, a Civil War army nurse for the Union, dubbed the "angel of the battlefield" for her services.
Emmits, named after Emmitsburg, Maryland where Elizabeth Seton spent a great amount of time in and died.
Segale, named after Sister Blandina Segale, a Sister of Charity on her way to becoming a saint who was an educator and social worker.
Cedar, named after the cedar trees that once grew where the school now stands and the original name of the school, Cedar Grove.
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 which is named after 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.
