Elder High School is a Catholic all-male, college-preparatory high school in the Price Hill neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. The high school has been in existence for over 100 years, and is a diocesan high school within the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

History

The cornerstone was laid in 1922. Named for William Henry Elder, third bishop and Archbishop of Cincinnati, it was the city's fourth high school and first Catholic diocesan high school. Eventually, 12 other such schools were constructed in the Greater Cincinnati area.

Eleven original parishes of the Western Hills neighborhood were the true founders of the school and served as "feeder parishes" for students. The first graduating class was in 1923, with eight students graduating in the year of the school's opening. Since its founding, over 22,000 students have graduated from the school.

Elder educated girls as well as boys its first five years.

In 1927, Elder's girls' department was transferred to Seton High School next door. To this day some classes are still mixed.

The school's curriculum is accredited by the Ohio Department of Education and the Ohio Catholic School Accrediting Association. Several levels of curriculum are provided. The school has an Honors Program which provides the top students Advanced Placement courses in Art, Calculus, Chemistry, Computer Science, English, World History, U.S. History, American Government, and Physics. In addition, Elder offers other level courses including (in order from most advanced to least) Honors+ (H+), Honors (H), Advanced College Prep (ACP), College Prep 1 (CP1), and College Prep 2 (CP2).
