The 1950s officially established the academy's modern campus identity and footprint. After years of holding high school classes in the cramped lower levels of the college's Hole Memorial Auditorium, the preparatory school completed its new building and moved to its current Golden Avenue and Pierce Street location in early 1955. The construction of the elementary buildings that same year gave younger students a permanent home, cementing the academy's vital role as a self-contained K–12 day school.
Archive note: During the 1950s, available annuals were combined school publications for Grades 1-12. Rather than separate division books, each year’s annual represented the elementary and secondary students together, making the 1950s archive a single-book-per-year section.
