St. John the Baptist Harrison

St. John the Baptist Harrison is a Roman Catholic parish and school located in Harrison, Ohio which is west of Cincinnati, Ohio. There are 305 students in the school from preschool through eighth grade. The athletic nickname for the school is the Jaguars. The official colors are red and black.

The parish is seen to be established in 1851. During the 1970’s, the demographics of Harrison began to change dramatically with the completion of I-74 and the I-275 loop around Cincinnati leading to a growing number of people going to the parish.[1] St John's is also the only parish in Hamilton County, Ohio that is west of the Great Miami River.
