The school was founded in 1885 by the Sisters of Charity. It is named for Elizabeth Ann Seton (1774–1821), who founded the Sisters of Charity and who, after her death, was canonized as the United States' first native-born saint. (Seton Hall University and the College of Saint Elizabeth in New Jersey are also named after Elizabeth Ann Seton.)
In 1914, Seton Hill Junior college was opened by the Sisters of Charity. With the approval of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Seton Hill College was created four years later.
In 1946, 40 male World War II veterans were accepted as students at Seton Hill. During the 1980s, men were regularly admitted to many programs at Seton Hill College, including music and theater. In 2002, Seton Hill was officially granted university status by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. After president JoAnne Boyle formalized the school's new status as a university, the teams' nickname was changed from "Spirits" to "Griffins," and several men's athletics teams were added, including American football. In 2006, Seton Hill announced it was transferring to NCAA Division II and joining the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC). They had belonged to the NAIA. In 2012, Seton Hill announced its move to the PSAC.

Seconds from Disaster - Mercyhurst University vs Seton Hill NCAA Baseball Game Protest is Upheld
Thanks to an umpiring snafu and upheld protest, Saturday 4/24's first game of the Mercyhurst Lakers v Seton Hill Griffins doubleheader officially does not exist, after umpires reversed a strike three call leading to a chain reaction of critical events. Article: https://www.closecallsports.com/2021/04/seconds-from-disaster-protest-upheld-as.html
With one out and one on in the bottom of the 2nd inning and MU leading 2-1, SMU batter Tyler Peterson took a 3-2 pitch for a called third strike. The home plate umpire then called the batter out for interference as the catcher attempted to throw out a stealing runner, resulting in the final out of the inning (NCAA Rule 6-3-b regarding interference states, "If the batter strikes out, the runner is also out").

The home plate umpire then called the batter out for interference as the catcher attempted to throw out a stealing runner, resulting in the final out of the inning (NCAA Rule 6-3-b regarding interference states, "If the batter strikes out, the runner is also out").
At least 10 events contributed to what would become a non-game in Pennsylvania as the PSAC conference upheld MU's protest that the umpires had improperly applied NCAA rules.
Specifically, in reversing the plate umpire's original strike three call and overturning it to ball four—thus extending the inning and, ultimately, allowing SMU to score two additional runs [the tying and go-ahead runs]—the umpires appeared to have violated NCAA Appendix E-1-f, which states that certain judgment calls, including balls/strikes decisions, are not subject to reversal.
The video documents other events, including game management and interaction with the aggrieved coach and dugout, that led to a difficult sequence Saturday afternoon.

VERSE 1: Did you hear of the city on a hill? Said one old man to the other It once shined bright and it would be shining still But they all started turning on each other VERSE 2: You see the poets thought the dancers were shallow And the soldiers thought the poets were weak And the elders saw the young ones as foolish And the rich man never heard the poor man speak CHORUS: And one by one they ran away With their made up minds to leave it all behind And the light began to fade in the city on a hill The city on a hill VERSE 3: Each one thought that they knew better But there were different by design Instead of standing strong together They let their differences divide CHORUS 2: And one by one they ran away With their made up minds to leave it all behind And the light began to fade in the city on a hill The city on a hill And the world is searchin' still BRIDGE: But it was the rhythm of the dancers that gave the poets life It was the spirit of the poets that gave the soldiers strength to fight It was the fire of the young ones, it was the wisdom of the old It was the story of the poor man that needed be told It is the rhythm of the dancers that gives the poets life It is the spirit of the poets that gives the soldiers strength to fight It is the fire of the young ones, it is the wisdom of the old It is the story of the poor man that's needing to be told CHORUS 3: One by one, will we run away? With our made up minds to leave it all behind As the light begins to fade in the city on a hill? One by one, will we run away? With our made up minds to leave it all behind As the light begins to fade in the city on a hill? The city on a hill END: Come home And the Father's calling still Come home To the city on the hill
