WELCOME TO ALL HALLOWS Past and Present Excellent academics have been the key to the great success of All Hallows High School for over 100 years.
All Hallows... not your ordinary high school Receive an extraordinary education at a top U.S. Catholic High School There is no secret why All Hallows consistently ranks as one of the top 50 Catholic high schools in the United States: we provide an excellent education with remarkable outcomes. All Hallows offers an extensive course selection for students to excel in different areas of interest. Our graduates are regularly admitted to some of the nation’s finest colleges and universities. All Hallows, founded in 1909 by the Congregation of Christian Brothers, is an
2
inner-city Catholic preparatory school for young men in the heritage of Blessed Edmund Rice that develops students who are prepared to realize their fullest potential; who can effect positive change in society; and who possess a lifelong desire to learn. We do this by offering a challenging, structured curriculum. All Hallows is where over 10,000 graduates developed long lasting friendships and began the transition to adulthood. If we take a moment and reflect, we understand that our school experiences are what molds us into the young men that we have become. All Hallows offers a unique school experience which has prepared many men
to become successful in college and with the lives they currently enjoy. Many amazing changes have been made at All Hallows since it opened its doors in 1909. One thing that has not changed is our reputation for academic excellence and Catholic values. Our strong sports program and extensive list of enrichment programs only serve to heighten your experience at All Hallows. The high school decision process can sometimes be stressful. Many of our graduates say that choosing All Hallows was one of the most important decisions they made on their road to success. We encourage all of you to come and see for yourselves.

Top 50
Catholic High Schools
Catholic High School Honor Roll recognizes schools that excel in the area of academics, Catholic identity, and civic education. All Hallows High School, named one of the top 50 Catholic high schools in the country, is the only school in the Archdiocese of New York to be recognized by the Catholic High School Honor Roll seven consecutive years - 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010-2012.
Pro Fide et Patria... For Faith and Country Our School Seal When All Hallows was established in 1909 the school seal was carefully chosen. The Brothers from Ireland were totally dedicated to providing a quality education to the youth entrusted to their care; an education that would provide both Church and State with competent leaders. The Latin phrase PRO FIDE ET PATRIA means FOR FAITH AND COUNTRY. The American Eagle at the center of the seal represents the All Hallows Community's commitment to the United States. The wreath of palm surrounding the
seal refers to victory and achievement in both athletics and scholastics. The circle surrounding the eagle is a reminder of our continuing faith and the four corners of the seal are represented by the Gaelic symbol for the continuation of life. While the seal appears on many All Hallows items none is more impressive than the Great Seal in the school lobby. Take a moment to look at it more closely but remember: An All Hallows student never steps on the Great Seal.

Our Belief and Policy on Academics
“All Students must be challenged according to their ability. We will never allow a student to fail until all avenues of help and assistance have been exhausted.”
Is help available if my son is not at grade level, falls behind or needs help adjusting to high school? There are tutorial programs at All Hallows for incoming freshmen who may need additional academic assistance. Either the student or the teacher may request tutoring. Under the direction of our Director of Supplemental Education, members of the National Honor Society and Big Brothers Club offer assistance during the week, before or after school. The Big Brothers Club is a specially trained group of selected juniors and seniors who work closely with each freshman as early as the first month of high school.
