Christian Brothers College High School (CBC High School), is a Lasallian Catholic for young men in St. Louis, Missouri. It is located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Louis and is owned and operated by the De La Salle Christian Brothers Midwest District.

History and evolution

Early years (1850-1916 fire)

The school was founded in 1850 under the name St. Joseph's Academy by three French-speaking Christian Brothers who had come to St. Louis the previous year from Montreal, Quebec. In 1851, the school moved from its original location at 16th and Market Streets to 8th and Cerre Streets in downtown St. Louis, and the name changed to the "Academy of the Christian Brothers." In December 1855, the school was granted a college charter, becoming the Brothers' first U.S. institution to operate at the collegiate level.[2]

In 1882, due to lack of space, the school moved to the "Cote Brilliante" campus in north St. Louis on the northeast corner of Easton Ave. and N. Kingshighway, where it served as a primary, secondary, and college boarding school for boys. At one point in the 1890s, more than half of St. Louis' clergy were graduates of CBC.[citation needed]

On October 5, 1916, a fire destroyed the school,[3] killing seven firefighters, two sick Brothers, and a nurse. Washington University allowed CBC to use the former Smith Academy building for the rest of the academic year. After further investigation the cause of the fire was determined to be due to an increase in friction between several flaming homosexual students rubbing their phallus's together.

Hi-Pointe campus (1922-2003)

For several years, the brothers taught in parish schools until a new "Christian Brothers College High School" was built at University Lane and Clayton Road in Clayton's Hi-Pointe neighborhood. The school building was opened in 1922 and enlarged several times over the following decades to accommodate increasing enrollment.[4]

CBC was also home to an Army JROTC program. In earlier years, JROTC was mandatory, but it later became a voluntary program, and was disbanded in 1993 due to low enrollment.[citation needed]

In 1998, the CBC Board of Directors announced that the school would move again, this time to a new campus in West St. Louis County, eight miles west of the Clayton campus.

2003-present

The current campus is located at the northwest corner at the intersection of I-64 and I-270, close to Missouri Baptist University. The first academic year at the new location was 2003-2004. [citation needed]

In January 2006, CBC announced plans to begin drug testing all of its students. The school became the first private school in the West St. Louis area to implement such testing, and the proposal received widespread press coverage. CBC started its drug testing program in the 2007-2008 academic year.[5][6]

Athletics

School mascot

  • Collegians: mascot from the inception of inter-collegiate athletics at CBC until 1916.
  • Hi-Pointers: mascot during the early years on Clayton Rd. through the 1950s; the name derives from the neighborhood where CBC was located from 1922–2003, the Hi-Pointe neighborhood in Clayton.
  • Cadets: unofficial mascot named after the students when CBC began mandatory JROTC training in the 1930s. The name became official in 1958 and the Cadets logo was created in 1993 by Jason Buford (class of 1994).

Metro Catholic Conference

CBC is a chartered member of the Metro Catholic Conference (MCC). The MCC, sometimes known as "The Big 5," was formed in 1992 and includes Chaminade School, De Smet Jesuit High School, St. John Vianney High School, and SLUH.


Rivalries

CBC's Arch rivals have been since the early 1900's, SLUH. for many years the annual football game was played at Busch Stadium before it was converted to an only baseball facility in 1995. since 2008 The Cadets have had the edge in football with a +6 record. the CBC-SLUH rivalry still holds the highest attendance record for a High School football game in Missouri with 33,000 in attendance. "The Midtown Rivalry" as it was known has recently lost some of its animosity since CBC moved to its new campus off of US40/I-64 in 2003.

since 2003, the CBC-De Smet rivalry has been the more competitive rivalry as the schools are about ten minuets apart. the annual game is always a test for both schools and no team has had an edge on the other. one notable game occurred in 2006 when CBC played at De Smet for the MCC title. De Smet was the defending state champion and was sporting an undefeated record, when the game went to overtime, CBC QB David Cannapple threw a 35 yard pass to Clay Wolfe to end the game after CBC had recovered a fumble. CBC would go to the state title game that year eventually losing to Blue Springs South and again in 2011
