Christ School was founded in 1900 by Father Thomas Wetmore and his wife Susan Allen Wetmore as a mission of the 圣公会教堂. 夫人. Wetmore's family gave them four acres of hilltop land just south of Asheville, 北卡罗莱纳 for the purpose of educating the rural mountain children of the area at a time when there were no public schools. 除了学术, the mission school also taught students a trade, 比如工艺美术, 编织等工艺, basketmaking, 和组阁, 还要照顾孩子们. These trades helped support both the school and the families of the students. The Wetmores had a tremendous outreach into the poor rural community, providing nursing care and clothing. When Father Wetmore died in 1906, 夫人. Wetmore became Principal and continued her fundraising efforts on behalf of Christ School for another 40 years.
Christ School was co-ed until 1927 when public schooling became available and provided transportation for the children of the area. 此时此刻, Christ School became a true college preparatory Episcopal boarding and day school for boys.
什么是Greenie?
From "Dishwashers" and "Warriors" to "Greenies"
In 1917, the Christ School baseball team defeated the Bingham Military Academy 2-1 to win the Western 北卡罗莱纳 baseball championship. As a reward, the team earned new uniforms and J. 米切尔·泰勒19岁, a player/manager ordered green ones to replace the mismatched hand-me-down uniforms the teams received from other schools.
The team first wore green in 1919 and since then Christ School’s athletic teams have been known as “The Greenies.在那之前, the teams had sometimes been called the “Warriors” but more frequently the “Dishwashers,” alluding to the necessary work each boy had to do.
The school has grown to over 500 acres of academic and residential buildings, 运动场地, wooded trails, and green space. Christ School currently has over 290 boys in grades 8-12, and students come from all over the United States and across the globe, adding cultural depth to the rigorous academic education. The school is still affiliated with the 圣公会教堂 as an unfunded mission and accepts boys of all faiths. St. Joseph's Chapel at Christ School is the longest continuously operating Episcopal church in western 北卡罗莱纳, and the tradition of a Chaplain conducting regular Chapel services has continued unbroken for over a century.
