75th Anniversary
St. Edmund Parish has sponsored a high school since the depression. The school opened on February 2, 1932 as St. Edmund Academy, a two-year high school for girls, with a class of sixty students. In 1936 it became St. Edmund Commercial High School, offering a two year commercial program. It became a four-year high school in 1962 and was re-titled St. Edmund High School, accredited by Middle States.
St. Edmund Prep formally celebrated our 75th Anniversary in April, 2007 with a Mass of Thanksgiving and a Gala Dinner Dance at Terrace on the Park. In addition, St. Edmund Prep announced the creation of the Emmaus Society, designed to honor those individuals who have contributed significantly to the St. Edmund Community. The Inaugural Induction of the Emmaus Society honored six members and one group for their role in building the St. Edmund High School of yesterday and transforming the St. Edmund Preparatory High School of today.
