我们是谁

莫尔山- Mount学院 is deeply rooted in the 本笃会的 tradition. 所以我们的故事开始了:“1863年11月, braving the perilous conditions of the Civil War, 在Evangelista Kremmeter嬷嬷的带领下，七位本笃会修女开始了在堪萨斯大草原边缘的艾奇逊建立本笃会修道院和学院的大胆事业.” (圣斯考拉斯蒂卡山学院125周年纪念). 

山圣. Scholastica Academy由本笃会修女会于1863年建立，旨在教育年轻女性, and 莫尔哔叽 Hill Prep was established in 1919 by the monks of St. 本尼迪克特修道院来教育年轻人.

莫尔山- Mount学院, 正如我们今天所知道的那样, is the result of the 2003 merger of these two long-established schools. The unification fortified the strengths of the schools and became a co-educational, 天主教, 本笃会的, 大学预科高中.

我们本笃会修女和修道士的愿景持续为MH - MA继续教育来自美国各地和世界各地的年轻男女在相同的本笃会传统. The school stands as a legacy to the Sisters and Monks through the education, 信仰, 在过去的150多年里，成千上万的校友/ae和今天在我们大厅里优雅的学生们灌输的价值观.

1857年的今天，本笃会修士创立圣. Benedict’s Priory first in Doniphan County and then moved to Atchison in 1858.

1858 – St. 本尼迪克特学院成立时只有4名学生，到学期末增加到16名.

1863年11月11日, under the leadership of Mother Evangelista Kremmeter, 七个本笃会修女来到艾奇逊, 堪萨斯, 开办了一所女子学校. 文法学校从12月1日开始上课.

1873年的今天，圣芒特学院. Scholastica成立时有40名寄宿学生和190名走读学生.

1877年的今天，姐妹俩买下了普莱斯别墅, located on 12 acres adjoining the city of Atchison, at a private auction and moved the Academy and the community there. 这座建筑被重新命名为St. 塞西莉亚的.

1912 – The sisters purchased land for a new academy and the newly founded St. Scholastica大学.

1919年的夏天, 修道士们买下了前米德兰学院, 路德神学院. 现在的莫尔山-山学院校园所在的财产被转让给圣. Benedict’s Abbey in December to establish a school. 

A group of structures already existed on the property, 包括一栋行政大楼, 一个图书馆, 一个体育馆, 带附属医务室的餐厅, 以及搬迁到内布拉斯加州的前米德兰学院遗留下来的校长之家. 旧体育馆(现在的约翰·弗林体育中心)是原校园最后剩下的建筑.

This addition allowed the Abbey to separate the students by age group. The younger boys studied on the newly acquired property on the south end of town, and the college students remained on the north campus, 哪一个是现在的本笃会学院. 

1920 – The monks opened the new school, named St. Benedict’s 莫尔哔叽 Hill, by a special chapter of the Abbey. The student body of 43 male students transferred from St. 本尼迪克特的大学. Later, the school was called 莫尔哔叽 Hill Prep but was most commonly known as 莫尔哔叽 Hill.

1967 & 1970 – St. 利奥宿舍和霍华德宿舍也建好了. St. Leo’s was named after key donor Leo Hulseman of the Solo Cup Company, and Howard Hall was named after key donor Howard McCullough, 他是不伦瑞克公司的一名高管，他为保龄球馆捐赠了四台修复过的球杆. Fr. Edwin always referred to three M’s of the Chicago League of St. 莫尔:霍华德·麦卡洛，迈克尔·墨菲，还有史密斯先生. 麦克休.

1970 – A co-institutional plan was introduced with 山圣. Scholastica学院和maul Hill预科学校, 保留各自的身份，但共享教师和设施，并在可行的情况下结合一些课程和活动. 学院搬出行政大楼，搬进了自己在莫尔山预备学校西校区的新设施.

1973 – St. Michael’s Cafeteria was built honoring Michael Murphy’s contribution. The cafeteria supplied new housing for the Mexican sisters who cooked all the meals, and the upper floor included a brand-new kitchen and cafeteria. 这对姐妹从1949年到2002年服役.

2006年，捐赠者和一群志愿者更新并创造了额外的空间，让所有男孩都能进入圣. 里奥的宿舍. 这次成功的志愿者活动让女孩们从2007-08学年开始住进了莫尔山-芒特学院校园的霍华德霍尔宿舍.
