School History
The "place" of Archmere started out as the beautiful country estate of John J. Raskob, his wife, Helena Springer Green, and their 12 children. On the 38-acre property was The Patio and The Manor, the Raskob's home and servants' quarters, respectively. Raskob sold his property to the Norbertine Fathers in 1932 and Archmere opened as a school for boys that September. Archmere was officially dedicated on October 12, 1932.
