All Hallows High School (Also known as All Hallows Institute) is a Catholic boys' high school in The Bronx, New York, United States. Located near Yankee Stadium, at 111 East 164th Street, the school has an enrollment of approximately 650 boys, 98% of whom are men of color.^[2] 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."^[3] The Acton Institute recently named All Hallows as one of the top 50 Catholic high schools in the United States.^[4] It is located within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York.

History and philosophy

This section needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (January 2012)

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. 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. The school has more than 10,000 graduates.

All Hallows celebrated its centennial in 2009.

Sport and activities

All Hallows students participate in more than 40 sports and activities; these include a newspaper (The Blue and White), a chess team, Big Brothers, as well as "El Club Latino." In Spring 2006, the varsity baseball team won a Catholic High School Athletic Association (CHSAA) championship, and, in Winter 2007, the Freshmen basketball team also won a CHSAA championship. The All Hallows j.v. Bowling team won the CHSAA division championship in 2011 for the second straight year. The teams are called The Gaels, although the mascot-emblem looks more like a leprechaun wielding a shillelagh.

The All Hallows Foundation

In 1997, graduates of the school set up The All Hallows Foundation, a 501(C)(3) organized for the purpose of supporting the school and the surrounding neighborhood. The board of directors for the All Hallows Foundation is composed primarily of All Hallows graduates who have achieved notable success in fields such as finance, technology, law, and television.

The Foundation provides funds for a scholarship fund that allows talented, but impoverished young men to attend All Hallows. It also supports facility renovations and improvements, a faculty endowment and community outreach programs. Philip J. Eagan [1], the board chairman of the All Hallows Foundation applies his background in finance to bring "a bold, entrepreneurial, and creative approach to inner city education.”^[5]

In December 2006, the Foundation received an anonymously donated check for 2 million dollars. The donation was made by a graduate of the school.^[6]
