A poor school with the strength of faith
For more than 100 years, wrote Ray Domanico at City Journal, “All Hallows High School in the South Bronx has been educating immigrant and lower-income boys. Early on, the students were Irish; later, they were Italian; today, they are Hispanic and black.”
All Hallows, founded by the Irish Christian Brothers in 1909, is under-resourced. It spends less than half of what neighbouring public high schools spend per pupil, and its teachers earn “dramatically less”. Yet it has an impressive academic record.
