William Cullen McBride High School (McBride High School) was a prominent Marianist Catholic all-male college preparatory school for young men, in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Louis. McBride served young men from all areas of St. Louis City and St. Louis County

McBride opened in 1925 during a period when only a small percentage of young men pursued secondary or higher education. Initially offering a classical arts and sciences curriculum, the school later transitioned into an "A-track" college preparatory institution, with approximately 98% of its graduates pursuing college degrees.

Over its 50-year history, McBride adapted its curriculum to include subjects such as Russian history, psychology, and creative writing, alongside traditional courses in Latin, chemistry, physics, and calculus.

The school drew students from across the St. Louis metropolitan area under an open enrollment policy and maintained a reputation for academic excellence and strong extracurricular programming.

Due to lowering enrollment and the perception of increased crime in the surrounding neighborhood, McBride closed its doors for the final time in June 1971, having graduated over 7500 young men.

History

In 1911, the St. Louis Archdiocese announced the opening of three new Catholic High Schools,St. Louis Post-Dispatch, August 11, 1911, page 10 {{fv|date=April 2025|reason=ad page}} two girls' schools, Kain High School and Rosati High School (later combined to form Rosati-Kain High School), and Kenrick High School for boys.{{cite news |title=Lauds Catholic Schools |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/st-louis-globe-democrat-lauds-catholic/171259931/ |work=St. Louis Globe-Democrat |date=19 August 1911 |pages=4}}

Kenrick HS, with an enrollment of 50 students, was initially located at 8th & Allen Streets in St. Louis. The facility moved three times in subsequent years due to increased enrollment and facilities issues. By 1924, the enrollment included 577 students and the school was ready for another move. This move ultimately contributed to the creation of McBride High School{{Cite web|url=https://issuu.com/lporschen/docs/1925?e=1654051/45891821|title=Kenrick Catholic High School|work= The Colonnade newspaper|date= 22 Dec 1924}}

In 1917 Mr. McBride died suddenly while on vacation in Pasadena, CA. As a tribute to her late husband, in June of 1921 Mrs. McBride donated $250,000 (${{Inflation|US|250,000|1925|fmt=q|cursign=US$}} in current dollars) to the Archdiocese for the establishment of a Boys High School to be named after her husband.{{cite news |author1= |title=MRS.

Drawing young men from all areas of St. Louis City and County, the schools reputation for academics, sports and civic involvement grew proportionately {{See below|below}}

On January 27, 1971, the Archdiocese of St. Louis announced that McBride High School would close following the graduation of the senior class in June. At the time of the announcement, enrollment had declined from 630 students two years earlier to 472, with projections indicating a further drop of 100 students the following year. The operating deficit for the school was expected to reach approximately $100,000, contributing to a broader $1.8 million shortfall across all archdiocesan high schools.

Several factors contributed to the decline in enrollment, including demographic shifts as white families moved to suburban St. Louis County, rising crime rates in the North St. Louis neighborhood surrounding the school, and increasing transportation costs. Although racial tensions were acknowledged as influencing parental decisions, they were not officially cited as reasons for the closure.

Aftermath

Following the announcement, McBride students were encouraged to transfer to other archdiocesan or public high schools. The 16 religious and 15 lay faculty members were reassigned within the Archdiocese or by their religious orders.

During its final semester, McBride continued to operate normally, maintaining its academic and extracurricular programs. Plans for the future use of the building were considered but remained undecided immediately after closure.

Academics and Student Life

The student body and reputation of McBride continued to grow, reaching a maximum of 1085 students in 1946. As it grew a number of innovations were introduced to foster learning, responsible self-governance, and extra-curricular activities.

=Academics=

In 1957, the Archdiocese adopted a track-based curriculum and admission program for its high schools in which students were divided academically into three "tracks", "A-Track" being the most challenging, the purpose being to provide the greatest possible educational challenge for the top students. In this plan, McBride and Rosati-Kain were set aside to be exclusively composed of A-Track students. Called the "Major Learning Program", it was gradually phased in each year as freshman A-Track students were admitted, completed with the incoming 1961 class.

Supporting this Major Learning concept, several academic innovations were introduced at McBride:

  • Honors Classes and Advanced Placement college credit classes were established in 1959 for English, History, Calculus, Chemistry, Spanish and French.
  • Academic Letters:
    Chenille Letters suitable for wear on a letter jacket or sweater, were awarded to students, positioning academics to the same level of prestige as athletics. These were similar to the McBride athletic letters but of a different font, and were awarded annually to students who achieved Grade Point averages of at least 3.5 and made the honor roll most quarters.
  • CCTV:
    In 1965 a Closed Circuit Television system was installed, allowing specialized classes to reach more students simultaneously.
  • Academic Honors Convocation:
    This annual event, held off-campus and attended by student honorees and their families, publicly honored all students with any academic achievement, including awards and scholarships, and, most notably, bestowed the academic letters.

=Student Government=

In 1941 The McBride Student Council was formed, establishing a formal voice between the Student body and the faculty an Administration. In 1964 a Student Court was established where students who committed minor infractions of school rules (i.e., non-coursework infractions, not requiring parental involvement) were cited, docketed and adjudicated by an elected Student Court Judge and Jury panel. Together these two bodies afforded the students maximum responsibility for planning, organizing and executing the non-academic aspects of Student life.

=Civic Activity=

During the war years the McBride Student body held War Bond drives to support the war effort. From 1942 to 1945 the students sold a total of $2,193,389 (${{Inflation|US|2,193,389|1945|fmt=q|cursign=US$}} in current dollars) in bonds.

Legacy

McBride High School is remembered for its significant role in preparing generations of St. Louis youth for higher education and professional success during a pivotal period in American history. Alumni have contributed to public life as mayors, administrators, clergy, journalists, scientists, engineers, physicians, authors, and military veterans.

=McBride Alumni Club=

The McBride Alumni Club is a non-profit organization established to unite former students of McBride High School, a now-defunct Catholic institution in St. Louis, Missouri, operated by the Society of Mary (Marianists). Founded in 1986, the club aims to foster camaraderie among alumni, promote goodwill, and honor the religious heritage of the Society of Mary.

The McBride Alumni Club originated from a reunion committee meeting of the McBride High School Class of 1935. At the conclusion of this meeting, committee chairman Albert Letz noted the enduring "McBride Spirit" among alumni, despite the school's closure 14 years earlier in 1971. A motion was proposed to organize the McBride alumni into a formal group, which was seconded, discussed, and unanimously approved. Subsequently, a Board of Directors was established, officers were elected, and a Charter of Incorporation as a non-profit organization was granted by the Missouri Secretary of State.

The club's purpose, as outlined in its Constitution and By-Laws, is threefold: to promote comradeship among McBride alumni, to foster goodwill, and to recognize the religious legacy of the Society of Mary.

The inaugural officers, elected for a two-year term, were Albert Letz (Class of 1935) as president, Will Butler (1935) as vice-president, Charles Voigt (1935) as treasurer, and William Callahan, S.M., as secretary. Rev. Charles O'Neill (1930) served as chaplain, with additional board members including Andrew Psotka, S.M., Phil Brady (1935), Dave Dwyer (1935), Charlie Fichter (1935), Ray Hoffman (1935), Marty Hanley (1935), and Jack O'Toole (1935).

An organizational meeting was held on August 14, 1986, at Chaminade College Preparatory School, where representatives from each graduating class were invited to participate. Invitations to join the club were mailed to alumni with known addresses, resulting in an initial membership of approximately 1,500.

First Social Gathering

The McBride Alumni Club hosted its inaugural social event, known as the "Orange and Green" gathering, on February 8, 1986, in the Khorassan Room of the Chase-Park Plaza Hotel in St. Louis. Organized by the Class of 1935 Reunion Committee under the leadership of Albert Letz, the banquet attracted 500 alumni, along with their spouses or guests, filling the venue to capacity.

The evening's program featured Albert Letz as Master of Ceremonies, introducing dignitaries at the head table. Will Butler provided a brief history of the club's formation, while Brother William Callahan, S.M., outlined the Society of Mary's historical ties to St. Louis Archdiocesan high schools. John M. Keane, special assistant to St. Louis Mayor Vincent Schoemehl, delivered remarks on behalf of the mayor and presented a proclamation declaring "McBride Day." Judge John K. Regan (Class of 1929) of the U.S. District Court spoke on the legacy of McBride High School, which had been located on Kingshighway Boulevard. Rev. Charles O'Neill offered a blessing and thanksgiving. Each female attendee received a replica of the McBride Class Pin, and the event concluded with dancing and socializing.

=Scholarship Fund=

The McBride Legacy Scholarship was established in 2010 to support students attending Chaminade College Preparatory School in St. Louis, Missouri. The scholarship assists descendants of McBride High School alumni, continuing the school's educational legacy after its closure.

= Establishment and Funding =

In the fall of 2021, Jane and Joe Nettemeyer expanded the program by creating the McBride Family of Scholarships, adding four new scholarships to the existing McBride Legacy Scholarship Fund. As of 2024, the total fund value stands at approximately $2,378,242, with the McBride Legacy Scholarship Fund comprising $1,928,166 of that amount.Placeholder for source

Fundraising efforts for the scholarship program included:

  • 250 donors during Phase I
  • 394 additional donors during Phase II
  • 715 total alumni ("Micks") who supported the fund across all phases
  • 173 alumni who donated $1,000 or more

= Impact =

Since its inception:

  • 199 students from 139 families have benefited from the McBride Legacy Scholarship.
  • Relatives of 154 McBride High School alumni have received scholarship awards.
  • A total of 770 scholarship installments have been awarded, totaling $680,800.

For the 2024–2025 academic year:

  • 67 students received McBride Legacy Scholarships.
  • The award per student increased from $1,300 to $1,500 annually.

Seniors who attended Chaminade for seven years have received a cumulative $7,100 from the scholarship.

= Tuition and Awards =

The tuition for the 2024–2025 academic year at Chaminade is $24,755. The scholarship aims to alleviate part of this cost for eligible students through annual awards.Placeholder for tuition reference
