Mater Christi Catholic High School becomes St. John's Preparatory School on Crescent Street
Mater Christi, a diocesan high school founded in 1961 through the efforts of Brooklyn's Bishop Bryan J. McEntegart, announced a tie to St. John's University in 1980 and took the name St. John's Preparatory School when the Prep's charter was reissued. The Prep itself dated to 1870, when the Vincentian Fathers opened it as St. John's College's preparatory department; its all-boys Bedford-Stuyvesant school had closed temporarily in 1972. It reopened on Crescent Street in Astoria in 1981.
“The school closed temporarily in 1972 but reopened in 1981 on Crescent Street in Astoria.”
