Bishop Francis Carroll High School was founded in 1969, by the Congregation of Christian Brothers, a Catholic religious order founded by Edmund Ignatius Rice, as a secondary school whose purpose was to provide inexpensive education to young men of Liberia.

The post war Carroll High period began after the national elections in Liberia in 1997 and covers through to the present day.

Chincotta, Music Director, arrived to start an all-boys boarding school in the interior of Liberia.

The campus consisted of 40 family bungalows and wooden homes, equipped with hot and cold-water facilities, a rarity in those days.

In addition to taking first place in the national exams for ten consecutive years, the school became known for its staging of rock operas including Jesus Christ Superstar, Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Godspell, Tommy, Rock and Ipi Ntombi.
