Especially in the middle of bowl season, a college football legend can only be so many places.

Alabama coach Nick Saban chose to be in the living room of a Christ School senior on Thursday.

Let’s be honest: the novelty of staying quiet wears off quickly for 300 boys.

Christ School did not make the student section wait long Tuesday night – about 1 minute and 55 seconds to be exact. Lleyton Thomas-Johnson ’24 boarded a miss by Legion Collegiate (S.C.), raced back down the floor, and took a feed from Bryson Cokley ’24.

Lleyton’s shot from just inside the paint kissed off the glass for points No. 9 and No. 10, the latter being the magic number in the annual Christmas in the Greenie Dome or "Silent Night" basketball game. 

No good deed goes unrewarded in Christ School’s Service Learning program. Especially an abundance of good deeds.

Congratulations to nine Greenies whose selflessness and hard work has earned them President’s Volunteer Service Awards. The boys were presented with bronze medals and certificates in Monday’s Assembly.

Smiles were contagious Friday as Christ School celebrated 12 seniors and their families with the year’s first Athletic Commitment Ceremony.  

Posters line the walls of Pingree Theater, one for every play that Mary Dillon has directed since 2001. Her 40th is a timely holiday gift to the Christ School community the weekend before Christmas Break.  

“ALL IS CALM – The Christmas Truce of 1914” will be presented Friday and Saturday in Pingree at 7:30 each night. Admission is free.

Alabama football has been in the headlines a lot the past few days.

Here is a Crimson Tide piece of news without a bit of controversy: Cayden Jones ‘24 has as high a ceiling as any boy who has ever played football for Christ School.  

Much like the passing of the flame from one candle to another, Lessons and Carols is a Christ School tradition that has endured for 90 years now without an interruption.

Students, faculty, and all the guests that could fit inside St. Joseph’s Chapel came together for the candlelight service on the first Sunday of Advent.

Christ School knows boys better than anyone.

But you don’t get here after 123 years by being complacent. That is why it was so important for the faculty and staff, parents, as well as the boys to have sessions for learning and discussion with Dr. Michael Reichert on Monday.

Train with the greatest player in Christ School history in the gym where it all began!

Registration is now open for the second annual Plumlee Basketball Camp – June 23-26 for boys ages 11-18. There are overnight and day options available as well as an early bird discount for registering before February 1 at https://masonplumlee.ryzerevents.com.

CHARLOTTE - Lleyton Thomas-Johnson ’24 is bona fide as a high riser and high achiever for Christ School basketball.

Lleyton was one of five winners of a $1,000 AFLAC Scholarship at Thursday’s banquet for the Phenom Hoops George Lynch Invitational.

No one went back to class hungry on Wednesday. And the only thing possibly as good as lunch was the company!

The power of music times 20!

Monday night’s Applied Recital was meant to provide students in the Music Program with a supportive space to perform some of the pieces they have been working on throughout the semester.

Some people are born with the impulse to serve.

“’Who shall you send? Send me,’ that’s always been my response,” Christ School alumnus Anthony Coggiola ’81 said Monday.

Anthony has been a great supporter of the school over the years and is a U.S. Army veteran, making him the perfect person to speak to the boys during an Assembly centered around Veterans Day.

Friday is a big day for one Christ School alumnus as it is the opening of the “Kindred Worlds: The Priscila and Alvin Hudgins Collection” art exhibition at the Hudson River Museum in Yonkers, N.Y.

Alvin graduated in 2005 and was a key contributor to the first Greenies state championship in basketball his senior year. He was also a Senior Leader in Noland House and sang in the Choir.

Christ School boys are going places in 2024!

Travel opportunities for the coming year include trips to Greece and Italy, Spain, the Bahamas, the Dominican Republic, and New York City, as well as a World War II history tour of London, Normandy, and Paris to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

Eleven Greenies who exceptionally balance sports with being studious and good citizens in the Christ School community make up the Fall Sports All-Academic Team.

Anyone who has been to the Charleston International Airport knows what a big deal The Boeing Company is to the South Carolina Lowcountry.

Thomas Pritchard ’12 was happy to return to the Carolinas on a personal and professional level when he took a job with Boeing just over two years ago.

Standing atop Mount Katahdin, Siler Sloan ’17 breathed it all in.

Siler took the final steps of his 2,190-mile, thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail on a clear day in Maine last month. The conditions only added to the grandeur of summiting Katahdin, the trail’s northernmost terminus.

Walter Montgomery, Jr. ’47, P’93, P’96, P’98, GP’24, GP’25 was a tireless supporter of Christ School, a titan in the Upstate South Carolina business community, and known throughout the Carolinas for his philanthropy and volunteerism.

It is with heavy heart that we share that Walter passed away Wednesday at age 93.

Christ School’s unwavering commitment to Academic Rigor is reflected with the school earning the highest possible distinction on this year’s AP School Honor Roll – Platinum.
