HISTORY OF SAINT THERESA SCHOOL Twenty-six years ago St. Joseph's Academy was completed and on Tuesday, the fifteenth of September, 1925, it was formally opened with Mother Marie Louise pre- siding as the first Principal, and five other Sisters of St. Joseph forming the first teaching staff. With the arrival of the Reverend Thomas Comber in October of 1926, work was begun on the Church of the Little Flower. While it was being built, Mass was celebrated in the convent chapel. ln December, 1928, the new Church was completed and dedi- cated. The former Academy became St. Theresa's Parochial School in 1932, when the boarding department was discontinued. That year the enrollment in the school was two hundred students, and the faculty numbered nine teachers under the supervision and guidance of Sister St. Andrew. Also that year the school was accredited by the South- ern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The succeeding principals, Sister Augustine, Sister Norberta, Sister Fidelis, and our present superior, Sister Anna Maria, have guided the school in success and prosperity and have watched its enrollment increase steadily, until now we have over eleven hun- dred students at St. Theresa, and a faculty of twenty-seven teachers. Our athletic pro- gram has broadened and the school has continued to grow. ln 1947 the kindergarten was builtg in 1948 the new cafeteria and the Sisters, con- vent were erected, the office was extended to handle increased registration and a new wing was added to the school building to accommodate the larger enrollment each year. The school grounds have been fenced and last year the football field was equipped with bleachers. A hibiscus hedge, surrounding the entire grounds has been added. Looking back, we see that our school has grown and prospered with every year, under the capable guidance of the Priests and Sisters and all our teachers, and the loving assistance of our parents. We proudly hail our Alma Mater and feel confident that she will progress even more in the years to come. f-Helen Conner ,
