Background
When Carroll School opened in 1951 it was quietely oriented to integrate any ethnical student group one of the first D.C. schools to defy segregation, four years before the Supreme Court declared the practice unconstitutional. The standard bearers for breaking down this barrier were the Carroll basketball teams of 1958-60, who amassed a 55-game winning streak despite racist pressures from many quarters. Since that time, Carroll has had a special call to engage issues of racial and ethnic equality, and a strong commitment to the social justice teachings of the Catholic Church.
