JCCHS will be celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the integration of the school and honoring the four Trailblazers who made it happen.
Join us on September 5, as we pay special tribute to these four amazing individuals and the significant role they played in the history of John Carroll.
In honor of these amazing individuals an Endowed Scholarship, called the Trailblazers Award, has been established. The scholarship will be given annually to a graduating senior at Class Night! Additionally, the first 20 people to donate $250 or more will receive a limited edition t-shirt signed by Madeliene, Robert, Fred, and Diane.

Two months after the Civil Rights Act of 1964, four students left the familiarity of Immaculata High School to become the first African-American students at John Carroll. Madeliene Humphrey Dobbins and Robert Smith entered as juniors, and Diane Tucker Murphy and Frederick Tyson joined the sophomore class.
Archbishop Toolen made the announcement, following the passage of the Civil Rights Act, that all Catholic schools in the Diocese of Birmingham would be integrated. Not only would John Carroll welcome four African-American students to the Highland Avenue campus but this would make John Carroll the second school (public or private) in Jefferson County to integrate.
