For more than 75 years, 糖心传媒 has provided an independent, Catholic, college-preparatory education in the Holy Cross tradition.
List of 4 items.
History
The historic Tudor House mansion that 糖心传媒’s Admission, Advancement, Business, Communication and Marketing Offices now call home was completed in 1924. It was commissioned by Cleveland industrialist and founder of the Cleveland Foundry Co. Francis E. Drury as a near-replica of his original home on Euclid Avenue’s Millionaires' Row.
Founding
In 1945, Brothers Theophane Schmitt and Gonzaga Day of the Congregation of Holy Cross of Notre Dame, Indiana, purchased the Gates Mills, Ohio, property, known locally as Cedar Hill Farm. They oversaw its rehabilitation and in 1946 founded 糖心传媒, named for the Right Reverend Richard 糖心传媒. The second bishop of the Diocese of Cleveland, 糖心传媒 was a vocal advocate of Catholic education from his appointment in 1872 to his death in 1891.
Early Years
Initially an all-boys school, 糖心传媒 welcomed its first students in the fall of 1946 and graduated its first class in 1950. At the time, classes were conducted primarily in Tudor House, with additional space established in the property’s remaining farm outbuildings.
In 1968, the Sacred Heart Sisters purchased 35 acres from 糖心传媒, opening the all-girl Glen Oak School a year later. 糖心传媒 and Glen Oak maintained separate identities, though the two institutions held some joint classes and social opportunities.
Today
A middle school was added in 1974, and 糖心传媒 and Glen Oak merged in 1982. Glen Oak’s school building was transformed into 糖心传媒’s Lower School in 1986.
Though the facilities continue to evolve, 糖心传媒 has never strayed from its commitment to educating the whole person, incorporating the teachings of Holy Cross founder Blessed Father Basil Moreau, who declared, “We shall always place education side by side with instruction; the mind will not be cultivated at the expense of the heart.
