Archbishop Moeller High School was established in fall 1958 when Archbishop Karl J. Alter appointed Monsignor Edward A. McCarthy and Brother Paul Sibbing, S.M., to supervise the planning and construction of a new high school near Montgomery, Ohio. Funds for the school were provided by Catholic parishioners in the Cincinnati area as part of the Archbishop's High School Fund Campaign. Archbishop Alter named the school Archbishop Moeller High School to commemorate the fourth Archbishop of Cincinnati, Henry K. Moeller.[4]
Moeller High School opened its doors in September 1960, along with La Salle High School, a fellow Cincinnati Archdiocesan school. Marianist Brother Lawrence Eveslage, S.M., was appointed the first principal, and the faculty consisted of Marianist priests and brothers as well as laity. Moeller High School's first class graduated in 1964. Since then, over 6,000 graduates have become Moeller High School alumni.[4]
Starting with the freshman class of 1999, Moeller High School adopted a new laptop program. All freshmen are required to lease laptops through the program to assist in education.[9] Leasing costs are included as part of school tuition. The laptops are equipped to use the new network installed in the school, and teachers are encouraged to use the laptops to do more in the classroom. Common uses for the laptops include writing papers, doing research (using both the Internet and the school's reference systems), and presenting projects. Many textbooks have been replaced by electronic versions. Starting with the class of 2018, students began leasing Tablet PCs rather than standard laptops, allowing them to take notes within OneNote without needing to type.[citation needed]
As of 2024, more than 85% Moeller students are involved in co-curricular activities.[10]
It features eight-to-twelve pages, two of which have full color, and a variety of content, including news, features, sports, and cultural information. The Journalism I and Journalism II classes are primarily responsible for reporting, writing, and designing the paper. Students outside of these classes are also encouraged to submit story ideas and content. All content is approved by the school's administration before it is published. In 2009, The Crusader moved from a quarterly to a monthly publication.
In 2008, The Crusader won First Place[clarification needed], the second-highest honor a high school newspaper can receive from the American Scholastic Press Association.[11] The contest judged The Crusader on writing, layout, and visual quality.
The Squire is a student literary journal that features stories, poems, and essays written by Moeller students. It is printed annually, and all students may submit to The Squire at any time. The magazine also features student artwork. Selected works for publication are chosen by Moeller's Creative Writing Club, who also edit and publish the journal each year.
Moeller High School's athletic teams are sanctioned by the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) and compete in the Greater Catholic League South, along with Elder, St. Xavier, and La Salle High Schools.[12] The Greater Catholic League, more commonly known as the GCL, is often considered one of the premier high school conferences in the country.[13]
In 2021, Moeller built Kremchek Stadium at the Bucher Athletic Complex in Clermont County. This is the first home field for Moeller baseball.
During the 1970s and 1980s, the football team won five national titles and many other championships.[14] The team also won back-to-back Ohio State Championships in 2012 and 2013.[citation needed]
The baseball team produced Major League Baseball players Barry Larkin, Ken Griffey Jr., and Buddy Bell, and Brent Suter. The Crusaders won Division I state baseball championships in 2009, 2012, 2013, 2015, and 2023.
Since 1999 Moeller basketball has won 3 State Titles. In 2004, led by five starters who would go on to play NCAA Division I basketball, Moeller reached as high as the top 10 in USA Today's national poll.[citation needed]
