All Hallows High School will close.

Sad to report, the leadership of All Hallows High School on East 164th Street has announced that the school will close at the end of June. I think it has 320 students total in grades 9-12. In September, it included twenty girls from the closing of St. Barnabas High School.

Please see the school's website at https://www.allhallows.org/

The current tuition is $7,000, but the cost per student is $11,000.

A mile to the south is Cardinal Hayes High School, supposedly with an enrollment of 748. I wonder whether its administration will seek transfers from All Hallows. I am quite certain there are spare classrooms. The president of Cardinal Hayes HS seems to be Dr. Michael Carey.   

The word Hallows means Saints. The Irish Christian Brothers ran a successful high school at All Saints parish at East 129th Street and Madison Avenue.

Its history may be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Hallows_High_School

The school is about 0.3 mile east of the new Yankee Stadium.

On May 1, 2025, Crain's New York Business website reported that All Hallows would be sold for $24 million. Please note that this is not a done deal. I have never been inside the building, but I suspect that the Brothers' quarters are very small. In another school downtown, I recall a Brother joking that he had to leave his room to change his mind.

All Hallows High School



At the north end of Joyce Kilmer Park, on the west side of the Grand Concourse, is All Hallows High School.  For full information about the school, please visit the underlined link.  


The address of All Hallows High School is 111 East 164th Street, Bronx NY 10452, telephone 718-293-4545.  The above view shows the intersection of Walton Avenue and 164th Street.  The Grand Concourse and buses Bx1 and Bx2 are one short block to the right.

The name All Hallows is a synonym for All Saints, the name of the school prior to 1930.

Please note that this school is a private Catholic high school, that is, not owned by the Archdiocese of New York.  Throughout its history, the Irish Christian Brothers, now known as the Congregation of Christian Brothers, have sponsored this school, Rice High School, and Iona College, New Rochelle.

A different congregation, the De La Salle Christian Brothers, sponsors Manhattan College at West 242nd Street, Bronx.
