Monday, September 14, 1959 was the first day that buses rolled onto the 157 acre campus of Christian Brothers Academy and dropped off the first 150 students to enroll as the Class of 1963. They had all of their classes in the newly renovated Henderson Hall, conducted by six Brothers of the Christian Schools, under the guidance of principal, Brother Albert Bernard McKenna.
Monday, September 14, 2009, brought together the current student poulation, now numbering 962, 75 faculty members and a few honored guests, for a day of nostalgia and celebration. Opening with the Mass of the Holy Spirit, the CBA community was accompanied by about twenty-five alumni from the five decades of its history, who reminisced about their time here as students and the impact that being a part of the CBA community has made on their lives.
The students saw an audio-visual reprise of the history of CBA, listened to speakers and enjoyed a day of celebration, minus the usual daily routine of classes.
The freshmen also participated in the annual Heath Run.
