Saint Charles Preparatory School
Encyclopedia
Saint Charles Preparatory School is a four-year college preparatory school
(a type of high school
) in Columbus, Ohio
. It was founded in 1923 by the fourth Bishop of Columbus, James J. Hartley
, as a Roman Catholic college seminary. Today, it is an all-male high school serving the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus
.
The school's patron is Saint Charles Borromeo
, and its motto, inscribed above the front door, is Euntes Ergo Docete Omnes Gentes, a quote from the Gospel of Matthew
in the Latin Vulgate
: "Going out, therefore, teach all nations." The school has been described as "The Distinctive Leader in Catholic Education." The original nickname of Saint Charles students is "Carolians." (It is derived from the Latin
word "Carolus," which means "Charles.") In 1947, the students also began to refer to themselves as "Cardinals." The Saint Charles sports mascot is Charlie the Cardinal.
1931 saw the completion of St. Charles’ gymnasium and the Our Lady Lourdes Grotto. Major renovations were made to the gym in 1951 to more than double the capacity.
A Gaelic
-style chapel (called the "Lower Chapel") was added on to the east side of the school in 1937. Bishop Hartley dedicated the chapel to Mother of Mercy. A Milwaukee art company beautified the chapel with artwork in 1952.
A natatorium was built next to the multipurpose room in 1990. In 1999, the Jack Ryan Training and Fitness Facility was built adjoining to the gym.
By the 1990s, since St. Charles was no longer a seminary and it did not house students, the dorm rooms were not necessary. The former art room on the fourth floor was used for housing purposes. In 1993, the campus library, which had previously been dorm rooms were converted into a physics lab. The library was moved to what was formerly the "upper chapel." In 1995, residence rooms for priests were also converted into classrooms because no priests lived in them. The office and living quarters for Monsignor Thomas M. Bennett, a Social Studies teacher, however, were maintained on the main floor of the school until his death on September 7, 2008.
Construction on the $5.5 million Robert C. Walter Student Commons and the Student Services and Fine Arts Center, the largest addition to Saint Charles in its history, began in June 2005. The approximately 27000 square feet (2,508.4 m²) addition, which replaced the courtyard behind the school, was ready for graduation at the end of the following school year; however, it was not available for full use until the 2006-2007 school year. The addition houses the 15000 square feet (1,393.5 m²) Robert C. Walter Student Commons Area, which serves as a new cafeteria and provides ample seating space for school and community functions. The Walter Student Commons is named in memory of Robert C. Walter, father of 1963 graduate Robert D. “Bob” Walter, honorary chairman and lead contributor to the current capital campaign being conducted to finance the new addition. Bob Walter and his ’63 classmate, architect Robert Corna of Cleveland, initiated the concept for the Commons nearly two years ago. Corna was the architect on the project, and based his designs off of a similar plan for Saint Ignatius High School
in Cleveland, also an all-male school. On the columns supporting the roof are glass panes, which bear the names of all of the alumni of the school, written with laser. Behind the Robert C. Walter Student Commons Area is the 12000 square feet (1,114.8 m²) Student Services & Fine Arts Center. The ground floor anchors the north end of the atrium, and houses a new kitchen, sponsored by Donatos Pizza
, and restrooms. The second floor houses offices for the guidance and counseling programs, campus ministry, and the school nurse. On the third floor is an extensive art room and gallery, with a kiln and mud rooms; and a music and choir room, with instrument storage and practice rooms; as well as offices for the respective instructors. The second and third floor connect to the original building at its rear stairwell, and to the Robert C. Walter Student Commons Area by a staircase.
Saint Charles is one of the last schools to require students to take at least two years of Latin, a practice retained from the school's past as a seminary where four years of Latin and two years of Greek used to be mandatory.
Many students graduating from Saint Charles attend some of the premier college institutions in the country, including the University of Notre Dame
, Harvard, Boston College
, Cornell University
, Yale University
, The University of Pennsylvania, Kenyon College
, and Washington University in St. Louis
. There is also a notably large number of students each year who are admitted to and attend the United States service academies.
In 2005, Saint Charles Preparatory was one of three schools in Central Ohio to have every sophomore pass every section of the new Ohio Graduation Test. (The state-wide public school pass rate was 64%.) In addition, the graduating class of 2009, with 117 students, had 10 National Merit Semifinalists and 20 Commended Scholars, one of the highest percentages in Central Ohio. Considering the requirements for National Merit designation, this fact implies that over 25% of this graduating class was in the top 2% of national college-bound students, a rate typical of Saint Charles students.

Loyal Carolians here.
Thy fame spread far and near
O'er hill and dale;
Our voices raise to thee,
Singing their praise to thee
And happy days with thee,
Saint Charles, hail!
As to the fray we go
For thee we meet the foe.
For thee our colors show,
Thy flag unveil;
Blood red and gleaming white,
'Round thee our hearts unite,
For thee our battle fight
Saint Charles, hail!
When student days are o'er
And classes meet no more,
When life has called the score:
Prosper or fail;
Still in the twilight gray,
As ages pass away,
Lift we our hearts to say;
Brennan McGill, hail!
Mighty patron of us all!
In thine honor, lo! we gather,
Let thy kindly blessing fall.
Pray for us who name thee patron,
Hear thy sons who on thee call.
O Saint Charles, true guide to heaven,
Unto death our patron be.
When the clouds grow dark at even'
And God's way we fail to see,
Lift the weak, inspire the weary,
Bring us home to Christ with thee.

Theatre
Since St. Charles is an all-male school, the theatre department has had to use different methods to incorporate the female roles of plays and musicals. Both prep school and seminary students performed the first plays at St. Charles in 1929 under the direction of Monsignor Joseph A. Cousins. Female roles were played by male students dressing up as women until 1971. It was then that Mrs. Teresa McLean (the school’s biology teacher) became the first woman to perform in a St. Charles play. The next year, female students from St. Joseph Academy and Bishop Watterson High SchoolBishop Watterson High School (Columbus, Ohio)
