School History

Introduction
  • 1954 - After World War II, population growth in Northeast Philadelphia produced the need for a new Catholic High School in the area.
  • 1954 - The Oblates of St. Francis DeSales were asked along with a dedicated faculty of lay men and women to administer and teach at the school.
 
The Missionary Servants of the Most Blessed Trinity Sisters
  • The Missionary Servants of the Most Blessed Trinity (MSBT) graciously donated part of the Motherhouse and Novitiate grounds to the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to realize the need for a school in the Northeast mainly due to population growth. To acknowledge the Sisters’ generosity, the new school was named after their founder, Rev. Thomas A. Judge, C.M.
 
The Mission
  • The goal was to teach the spiritual, intellectual, physical, and social values of the spirituality of St. Francis DeSales. Known as “The Gentleman Saint,” his spirit of optimism, hope, freedom, and confidence in God is shown through the Direction of Intention by Living Today Well.
