Welcome to the McBride High School Alumni Website

In 1923, funds to build a Catholic High School in St. Louis, Missouri were given to the Archdiocese by Mrs. McBride as a memorial to her husband, William Cullen McBride, an outstanding Catholic layman. In the words of the late Cardinal Glennon, Mr. McBride was “a man who saw and understood the questions of his day, and even foresaw those of the future. He realized the need for educating the hearts and minds of youth so as to fit them for facing the problems of life.”

Under the guidance of the Brothers of Mary, McBride opened in 1925. During its 47 years, McBride rose to become a landmark and a milestone in education. Situated on the northwest corner of Kingshighway and Cote Brilliante Avenue, this limestone educational institution yearly molded and shaped the lives of six hundred young men. Graduates passed through her famous colonnades each year well prepared to meet their moral and civic responsibilities in an adult world. For a variety of reasons, the school closed in 1971.

In 1985, as part of their 50th reunion, the class of 1935 decided to rekindle the fire by establishing a McBride Alumni Club. Our rosters now include 416 teachers and 7,373 former “McBride Micks”. We have roughly 4,200 members, 3,219 confirmed deceased and are still missing 914 … the search continues.

On March 10, 2009, the New McBride Alumni site was launched.  Please let everyone know about this site, and keep the spirit of McBride alive.

McBride Colonade Newspaper - When the event was held at Electricians Hall to celebrate McBride's closing, all of the back issues and books containing the Colonnade award winning newspaper were given away and/or destroyed. We have nothing else.  This is a call out to all of you who worked on the newspaper or anyone whose mother had the foresight to save this type of information to help us reconstruct the files by finding those newspapers in your archives and sharing them with us.
