WELCOME TO ARCHBISHOP CARROLL ADMISSIONS!
Dear Future Patriots,
Welcome to the very first edition of our Admissons Newsletter for the class of 2030! My name is Brianne Branco and I am honored to be the Director of Admissions at Archbishop John Carroll High School. I am now in my fourth year at Carroll and have been blessed to serve in many roles in admissions, development, teaching, and student life. These various experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the Carroll community and the many ways our students thrive here!
At Archbishop Carroll, we are proud to be a school rooted in strong Catholic values, academic excellence, and vibrant community We are the Patriots and that identity represents a tradition of leadership, service, and pride that has shaped generations of young men and women. Whether in the classroom, on the stage, on the athletic fields, or in service to others, Carroll sudents are challenged to grow, achieve, and thrive in their faith.
Through this newsletter, you will receive updates, important dates, and stories that highlight the many ways Carroll students and families thrive. My goal is to keep you connected and informed as you consider becoming part of the Carroll family.
I look forward to getting to know you and your student in the months ahead, and hope to see you at one of our admissions events! Thank you for allowing us to share in this exciting time with you!
With Gratitude,
Brianne Branco Director of Admissions
We are also excited to introduce Mr. Kyle Robinson, our Associate Director of Admissions. With a strong background in admissions at both the high school and collegiate level, he brings great energy and a passion for helping families discover all that Carroll has to offer. Kyle will be working closely with prospective students and their families throughout the admissions process and looks forward to welcoming you into the Patriot community.
Note from our Principal
Dear Future Archbishop Carroll Families,
On behalf of the faculty, staff, administration, and entire Archbishop Carroll community, I extend a warm welcome as you begin exploring the next chapter in your child’s education. Choosing a high school is an important decision, and we are honored that you are considering Carroll.
Here at Carroll, our mission is simple yet powerful: to inspire young men and women to lead, serve, and contribute to the global community. We empower students to develop their talents, build strong character through Catholic values, and strengthen their minds through our academic programs. Every Patriot who walks our halls becomes part of a tradition of excellence, leadership, and service that has defined our school for generations. All of that is our Mission Statement, and it sounds great, and it really is who we are! But really, what does it mean for you, and for your student? It means that when your child comes to Archbishop Carroll, they will be afforded every opportunity to succeed, academically, athletically, in extracurriculars, and, most importantly, spiritually. Our faculty and staff will open those metaphorical doors for them. Their job, your job as parents and guardians, is to walk through and make Archbishop Carroll your home for the next four years.
We look forward to sharing the vibrant life of our Carroll community with you. I encourage you to visit our beautiful 55-acre campus, meet our students and teachers, tour our new Connelly Wellness Center, and experience firsthand the energy and spirit that make Carroll The Place to Be.
Sincerely,
Mr. William Gennaro Principal
