History
In 1902 ground was broken in the building of a new school, St. Scholastica Academy. September 4, 1903, the large bell suspended above the new wooden four-story building rang for the first time.[citation needed] In 2016, Benedictine Hall was transformed into a STEM Building, to configure new science and math classrooms. In August 2019, Angelus Hall, a STEM classroom building holding a Mac Lab, TV Production Studio, 7 classrooms for Math & Theology departments, and 1 science lab was completed. Angelus Hall is connected to Benedictine Hall; the construction of Angelus Hall also came with the 10s, 20s, and 30s classroom buildings being demolished as they were outdated and no longer met students' needs.[citation needed]
