“Some awesome force could wipe those buildings from the corner of Vincent and Regina, and Elder would still be Elder because of the people. The loyalty is unfailing, the enthusiasm contagious, the generosity without limits, because they are firmly rooted in a deep and abiding faith in God and each other.”
Altiora—The Higher Things. This is the motto of Elder High School, the first high school established by the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. First envisioned in 1912, established by 11 Western Cincinnati parishes in 1922, and named after the second Archbishop of Cincinnati, the school has a storied history of more than 75 years. Panther Tracks travels through the last century covering the school’s place in history, and the historic events that transformed it into a landmark for high school education and sports tradition. Follow the path that starts with nine faculty members and an initial graduating class of eight men and women to a 68 member faculty with over 18,000 alumni.
Learn how the name of Elder has come to mean so much to so many through its commitment to Catholic education, its remarkable school spirit, and its efforts to enhance and support its country, its city, and its neighborhood.
