Mary Jane Morrison P’96, P’99, P’04 saw a reflection of her four sons in Christ School boys – their hopes and dreams, their idiosyncrasies, and above all, their potential.  

She knew the purpose of her work better than anyone. And what Greenies got in return was a teacher, adviser, coach, dorm parent, and administrator who was as beloved and transformative as any faculty member of the modern era.

Brayden Crain '28 is new to Christ School, but already a household name to Division I college football programs. 

The 6-foot-5, 240-pound defensive end/tight end from Brevard, N.C., will soon begin his junior year with at least four D-I scholarship offers – East Carolina, Georgia Southern, Miami (Ohio), and … 

ATLANTA - While his classmates heard music wafting through St. Joseph’s Chapel, Joe Massey ’65 heard a calling. 

For all that he has done for Christ School and the Music Program in the ensuing years, a concert for Joe by the Atlanta Master Chorale was especially deserved. 

The concert was part of the 60th annual Association of Anglican Musicians Conference held June 7-11 in Atlanta. 

“Allen Mebane ’48 represents so many ideals and values of Christ School – integrity, commitment, hard work, and achievement,” read a decree recognizing Allen as the school’s first Trustee Emeritus in 1997.

Allen gave endlessly to Christ School through his philanthropy, time, and vision.

EUGENE, Ore. – Much like Christ School, there will be two versions of the record book at Wake Forest University – before and after Rocky Hansen ’23. 

While much of the country was engrossed in Friday night’s United States-Paraguay World Cup match, Rocky came within a second of becoming only the second Demon Deacons athlete to win an event at the NCAA Championship Track Meet.

SOUTHERN PINES – Calmness under pressure with a proper sense of urgency. Consistent ball-striking and putting interspersed with the right amount of luck. 

It takes a unique temperament to qualify for the U.S. Amateur golf tournament. 

Jamal Hutchison ’23 had it all working for him Wednesday at the Mid Pines Inn & Golf Club. His round of 5-under 67 – one stroke off the lead – allowed the Christ School alumnus to tie for fourth place out of 66 players. 

Salamanca, Spain cast a spell on Christ School boys many years ago. 

To this day, the grandiose architecture and history-filled spaces speak to them. The exotic food, live entertainment, cooking, and tours still translate as well, with every enticement orbiting around Spanish classes at Colegio Delibes. 

Next up for Mason Plumlee ’09: The NBA Finals!

Mason memorably led Christ School basketball to state championships as a sophomore, junior, and senior, going on to be a key part of Duke University’s 2010 run to the NCAA title. 

Now the 13-year NBA veteran is in the mix for his first world championship with the San Antonio Spurs. 
The Spurs beat defending NBA champion Oklahoma City, 111-103, in Saturday night’s Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals. 

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – The Crow flies to a national championship!

Congratulations on behalf of everyone at Christ School to alumnus Nick Crowley ’22 and Princeton University lacrosse for winning the NCAA lacrosse championship. 

While the rest of the world is cooking out or sitting around the pool on Memorial Day Weekend, Nick Crowley ’22 may be winning a national championship.

Nick is a senior long-stick midfielder and defender for the Princeton University lacrosse team, which has reached the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament this weekend in Charlottesville, Va. The No. 1 Tigers (15-2) play unseeded Duke (11-4) on Saturday at noon, and you can expect to see No. 13 on the ESPN2 broadcast.

Congratulations to rising senior Hank Bradley ’27 on his verbal commitment to play golf for East Carolina University!

Grass regenerates with every mow, which means you never see the same version of Yard A twice. 

Unseen nutrients in the soil maintain the health of Yard A – the site of the original school grounds in 1900. Likewise, principled belief in Academic Rigor, Leadership, Spirituality, and the Dignity of Manual Labor is what sustains Christ School after 126 years. 

Every aspect of Christ School’s curriculum and its four foundational pillars (Academic Rigor, Leadership, Spirituality, and the Dignity of Manual Labor) are represented in the annual Academic and Citizenship Awards. 

Congratulations to Saturday’s winners, most of whom received their awards during an all-school ceremony in Mebane Field House. 

LEWISVILLE – Advances in nutrition and technology will keep pushing athletic performance to new levels.

Kingston Whitty ’26 draws from something uniquely special inside him, too, which is why a 36-year-old school and state record was finally on borrowed time Saturday. Kingston curled his body over the crossbar for an awe-inspiring win in the high jump (7 feet, 2 inches), a performance on its own that would have made the two-hour trip to Forsyth Country Day worthwhile for Christ School track and field. 

Charisma and an undeniable legacy equal a landslide vote. 

The Class of 2026 gave Student Engagement Proctor David Gaines '26 twice as many votes as any other senior to be their graduation speaker this Sunday. 

Historic state championship seasons by cross country and soccer will resonate for many years to come. 

Leaders of those teams were among the big winners again at Thursday’s Athletic Awards Night in Mebane Field House. 

Brooks Barbee ’27 and Felix Huebner ’26 got called to the stage as respective MVPs for their teams – Felix shared soccer’s with Clayton Butler ’26 – and also received one of the five major awards. 

A tinge of sadness, yes, but lots more happy tears and hugs Friday as we begin to say goodbye to nine members of the faculty and staff – and dear friends to Christ School – who will retire at the end of the 2025-26 academic year. 

Together, their combined service to the boys equals 150 years.  

Decisions, decisions. 

The feelings of accomplishment on College Spirit Day encompass the full journey that the College Guidance Office – with more than 40 combined years of experience in college counseling – takes with each senior. Every boy receives individualized attention and care, whether they are a fifth-year senior or new to Christ School.

ASHEVILLE - Coach Ashley and the boys didn’t get dressed up for nothing Sunday night at the Omni Grove Park Inn. 

Christ School cross country was named the Blue Ridge Division of EmergeOrtho Division II Male Team Sport winner at the 64th annual Western North Carolina Sports Awards. 

The world of college basketball works in mysterious ways. Never more so than 2026. 

Kingston Whitty ’26 committed to play at the next level for West Virginia University last October before his first game as a Greenie. It wasn't meant to be a tenuous commitment by any means, but Kingston had no control over outside forces.
