All Hallows High School (formerly known as All Hallows Institute) is a Catholic boys' high school in South Bronx, New York, United States. Located at 111 East 164th Street, near Yankee Stadium, the school has an enrollment of approximately 650 boys, 98% of whom are persons of color.〔(Site that provides profiles of private schools. )〕 Despite sitting in the poorest Congressional district in the country, All Hallows routinely places its entire graduating class in four-year colleges. The Wall Street Journal has called the school's success in this area "stunning".〔Suskind, Ron. “A Bronx Tale: “College is Better Than No College, Period. You’ll Thank Me Later.” THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, 04/01/1999.〕 The Acton Institute has named All Hallows as one of the top 50 Catholic high schools in the United States for nine consecutive years.〔Fowle, Noah. “All Hallows High School recognized as ‘Top 50’ parochial school.” BRONX TIMES REPORTER, 11/04/2004.〕 It is located within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York and is the only city school in the Archdiocese of New York to have earned this distinction. ==History and philosophy== All Hallows was founded in 1909 by the Congregation of Christian Brothers. The order founded the school upon the principles of Blessed Edmund Rice, which center on providing moral and scholastic training, especially to the children of the poor. Originally located at 13-15 West 124th in Manhattan, the school moved to its current location in 1929. The school has more than 10,000 graduates. All Hallows was the first school founded by the Christian Brothers in the United States. For much of its history, All Hallows was an elementary school as well as a high school, but it has been exclusively the latter since 1977. When All Hallows was established in 1909 the school seal was carefully chosen by the Brother from Ireland. The American Eagle at the center of the seal represents the All Hallows Community's commitment to the United States. The wreath of laurel surrounding the seal refers to victory and achievement in both athletics and scholastics. The circle surrounding the eagle serves a reminder of the school's "continuing faith" and the four corners of the seal are represented by the Gaelic symbol for the continuation of life. The Latin phrase ''Pro fide et patria'' means ''For faith and country''. All Hallows celebrated its centennial in 2009 and was honored with its own street name change to All Hallows Way as a parting gift from the Class of 2012. The school was also visited by Mary McAleese, the former president of Ireland, during the 2012-2013 school year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「All Hallows High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
