CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION: Holy Rosary School building’s 100th anniversary
That photo of Holy Rosary School is an echo of a similar photo taken 100 years ago:
On this date in 1923, Holy Rosary opened its building at 4142 42nd SW, with more than 200 students. The school itself opened 10 years earlier at an Admiral location; today is the 100th anniversary of moving into the building. 500 students now attend preschool through 8th-grade classes there. “Although much has changed over the past century, the vision of the four Aquinas Academy Dominican Sisters, Father O’Callahan and the Parish community has not,” school administrators say. (They’re currently accepting applications for kindergarten, and have “limited openings in other grades.”)
God Bless the Children, the Administrators and the School! A wonderful community and a pillar of West Seattle!

The cross above the main entrance was damaged in the 1965 earthquake; I remember seeing it tied up with rope when I arrived for 2nd grade classes that morning!
Thanks for that tidbit Bruce. A few of us were curious as to what happened to the cross.
