    All Hallows moves from Harlem to East 164th Street near Yankee Stadium

    The Congregation of Christian Brothers founded All Hallows in 1909, its first school in the United States, at the invitation of Monsignor James Power, the pastor of All Saints Church, who helped found it. It began at 13-15 West 124th Street in Manhattan and moved to 111 East 164th Street in 1929. For much of its history it also ran an elementary school, but from 1977 it was only a high school.

    Former Irish president Mary McAleese visits All Hallows

    Mary McAleese, the former president of Ireland, visited the school during the 2012-2013 school year. The Class of 2012 had marked the school's 2009 centennial with a parting gift, the renaming of its street as All Hallows Way. The school's teams were called the Gaels, and its seal carries the Latin motto Pro fide et patria, meaning for faith and country.
