Our story

They said trade school. We said college.

In 1957 the Archdiocese planned a trade school for San Antonio's West Side. The Brothers of Holy Cross, the same order that founded Notre Dame, held out for college prep. Eighty-four freshmen enrolled, tuition was $67.50, and the school has been sending West Side families' children to college ever since.

The Brothers and the community kept it going.
