MOUNT GALLITZIN ACADEMY FOR BOYSAbout twenty miles northwest of Pittsburgh, on the east bank of the Ohio river, at a point where the river flows north, Mount Gallitzin raises aloft the Cross of Christ. It proclaims to the famed Beaver Valley of Pennsylvania a message old as the ages, yet new as the breath of Spring that yearly reveals to an expectant world still untold beauties. Established in 1869, in Ebensburg, in the picturesque mountains of the Appalachian chain, this Institution took for its identity the name of the Prince-Priest, Demetrius Gallitzin, who, to bring this message of Christianity to the mountaineers of Pennsylvania, renounced his pricely title and his lucrative inheritance. Year after year, youth came to this seat of learning, and for 32 years the Sisters of St. Joseph sent forth graduates equipped with the armor of Faith, and with a Christian education. Then the walls of Mount Gallitzin became too limited for the demands of the times, and the Sistaer turned to another region, choosing this time a site in the valley of the "Beautiful River." Here, in 1900, the Cross was raised on a new and larger building, and the name of "Mount Gallitzin" was brought into the valley to herald again the message of the Prince. The Mount Gallitzin Academy opened its doors january 13, 1902, as a Boarding School for Boys with an enrollment of 137. Since that time some additions have been made to the original institution so as to accommodate more boys.
