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.

For a dozen reasons, a September to remember!

Based off this year's give-and-take, changing the date of "The Game" does not appear to have softened the intensity of the Carolinas’ oldest high school football rivalry. Nor has it affected the current balance of power which remains steadfastly green. 

Saturday was the first time in modern history that Christ School and Asheville School have played in September. On the road, the previously winless Greenies scored 20 unanswered points, including 13 in the second half, to defeat the Blues for the 12th consecutive year, 20-7.

Enrichment Day is a day set aside every fall semester for the boys to take part in stimulating activities and trips planned by the faculty.

It’s also a nice breather for everyone at the midway point of Asheville School Week.

David Gaines ’84, P’26 jokes that everyone in a 1982 picture is holding up one finger because it was the only win of the year for the Christ School football team.

It’s not far from the truth.

It’s the ultimate double play for Pat James.                       

Already part of the Christ School Athletic Hall of Fame, Pat was recently added to the N.C. Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame.

Congratulations to junior Xander Ring ’25 on his verbal commitment to play lacrosse for Brown University!

Xander is an all-conference defender from Tega Cay, S.C., and the sixth Christ School student-athlete since 2020 to make a commitment to an Ivy League school.

Four more Christ School seniors have qualified for the National Honor Society, an announcement made Thursday in Chapel by faculty advisor Dr. Brent Harris.

The criteria for NHS membership are high levels of academic achievement, leadership, service, and character.

This is the year for Dawson Reeves ’24.

The senior from Canton, N.C., has solidified it by announcing his verbal commitment to run cross country and track for Duke University.

The school year’s first Student and Residential Life Awards were presented Friday in Assembly.

Behind every good deed Wednesday was an open heart and open mind.  

Christ School’s annual Day of Service calls upon the full student body and faculty to show the power of their compassion throughout the Asheville community. The boys worked for local charities and non-profit organizations at 25 different sites, much of their labor was done outdoors on a cool, pleasant morning.

Yixuan Wu ’25 knew next to nothing about Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation a year ago.

To compound matters, English is a second language for Yixuan, a junior from the Shaanxi province of China.

And yet the Greenie was recently informed that he has been shortlisted for an award in the John Locke Institute’s Essay Competition. Of the 20,000 essays that were submitted, Yixuan is one of 100 finalists who have been invited to Oxford, England for a Sept. 16 awards dinner.

Every senior who slipped into a green blazer for the first time Wednesday felt something different. 

Therein lies the magic of one of Christ School’s most sacred symbols.

Integrity has been, and always will be a core value at Christ School, Honor Council chairman Hardy Johnson ’24 said Tuesday in a special Honor Chapel service.

Academic Rigor sits at the heart of Christ School’s curriculum and was the focal point of Assembly on Monday.  

Dean of Academics Emily Pulsifer P’15, P’17 and Associate Dean of Academics James Uhler announced that the following boys have earned Advanced Placement Scholar awards.

Forbes magazine has published a “30 under 30” piece on young professionals in Puerto Rico who are reshaping finance, tech, culture, and food.

Christ School alumnus Henry Keenan ’14 is included for his work as the founder and CEO of RED Atlas, a real estate search engine for emerging markets based in San Juan.

New year, same tried and true brotherhood.

As the sun began to dip down behind St. Joseph’s Chapel on Sunday evening, Head of School Dr. Sean Jenkins gave the boys a brief history of Christ School.

Co-founders Thomas and Susan Wetmore are surely looking down proudly at a school that has grown and prospered to have 302 students from 15 different states and eight counties. Of that record enrollment number, 198 of the boys are boarding students, which is also an all-time high. Christ School’s 124th academic year officially began Sunday with Convocation in Yard A.

Friday is back to school for Christ School’s faculty and staff!

The men and women who will teach and aid in the growth and development of the boys possess a wide array of knowledge and talents. Each of them is united by the school’s mission to produce educated men of good character, prepared for both scholastic achievement in college and productive citizenship in adult society.

Bob Twomey ’73 misses his share of phone calls working out in DuPont State Recreational Forest, a 12,500-acre piece of wilderness that attracts 1.1 million visitors per year.

At least Bob is honest when he says on his voicemail that he’s “probably out in the woods.”

Good, objective journalism is getting harder and harder to find.

Bob Reid ’65 has been great at it for the better part of five decades.

The Christ School alumnus is the new Editor-in-Chief of Stars and Stripes, an American military newspaper and multimedia organization that has operated since 1861. The promotion was announced earlier this month.

He’s a Natural.

No, really.

The Kansas City Royals announced Tuesday that they are promoting Christ School alumnus William Fleming ’17 to their Double-A affiliate – the Northwest Arkansas Naturals.
