95 Years of School at St. Columbkille

Our parish school was formally founded on February 24, 1916. In August the Benedictine Sisters of Atchison, Kansas arrived to teach, but the school wasn't done yet. They began classes in the church where students would sit on kneelers and use the pews as desks. October 12, 1916 was the first day of classes in the completed building.

 Some of our alumni returned Sunday to celebrate 95 years.

 

 Even the most recent alumni noticed changes.

Members of the Student Council gave tours. Dr. Cheryl Blue, our principal, was on hand to hear about the past and chat about the present and future.

It was great to gather. We realized we'll need to

start planning for the 100 year celebration in 2016.
