History of Serra
There has been a lot of interest in the early days of Serra High School. Bro. Charles Boglitz, SM wrote "Diary of a High School" which takes Serra from its beginnings through the time the Marianists left in 1994. You can click here to read it.
You can also go to Serra's website, click here, for a summary by Bro. Boglitz and a timeline by Father (now Monsignor) Sabato Pilato.
Here are some excerpts from the timeline:
1955: "Senior Walk originated by Senior Class '55"
1965: "Plans submitted to Msgr. Donald Montrose, Archdiocesan Superintendent of Schools regarding expansion of Serra. Plans later approved by the building commission and Cardinal McIntyre."
1975: "Tuition $500, up from $40 in the early years"
1985: 1) "Six of the eight sections of bleachers on west side of the stadium replaced. Last two sections replaced in 1986" 2) "Fr. Philbin acquires peacocks, other birds and rabbits for the campus"
1995: "First campus girls softball field constructed"
2005: "New snack bar, ticket booth, and restrooms constructed at south end of football field."
