Christian Brothers Academy (also known as CBA or "The Academy") is a private, all-boys preparatory Catholic high school in the Lincroft section of Middletown Township in New Jersey. The school is run by the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools.

The school was originally a farm owned by the prominent Whitney family of New York City, and home to the Greentree Stable. The land was eventually given to the Christian Brothers for the purpose of teaching. The school opened in September 1959 and was blessed by the Bishop of Trenton on October 11, 1959. Christian Brothers Academy operates independently from the Diocese of Trenton and is governed by a board of trustees.

As of the 2021–22 school year, the school had an enrollment of 876 students and 64.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.6:1. The school's student body was 79.5% (696) White, 10.6% (93) Hispanic, 6.8% (60) two or more races, 2.6% (23) Asian and 0.5% (4) Black.[3]

The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools since 1967.[5]

History

[edit]

The site of Christian Brothers Academy was originally a farm owned by the prominent Whitney family of New York City, and home to their renowned Greentree Stable.

Christian Brothers Academy was founded in 1958, when a group of devoted laymen, including Doctor George A. Sheehan, realized the need for another Catholic high school in Monmouth County. With the approval of the bishop, they initiated a drive to raise funds for the purchase of a piece of property. The Brothers of the Christian Schools, under the leadership of their provincial, Brother Anthony John Halpin, agreed to staff the school and finance its construction.

The former Whitney Greentree Stables, a 157-acre (0.64 km2) farm, was purchased and one building was converted into what is now Henderson Hall. With six Brothers on the teaching staff, the school opened for the first time in September 1959 with an inaugural ninth grade class of 140 students, with classrooms built in a converted horse stable.[12] The school was blessed by the Bishop of Trenton on October 11, 1959

A new brick school building with 13 additional classrooms and science labs, constructed at a cost of $1.8 million (equivalent to $18.1 million in 2023), opened in September 1962; that year, the school had 700 students in grades 9-12.[13]

Over the years, the school has undergone many additions and renovations, including the building of the Henderson Theater, three science labs, two large gyms, and extra classrooms. The school's Christian emphasis is noted by a sign in the lobby which reads: "Jesus is the reason for this school, the unseen but ever-present teacher in its classes, the model of the faculty and the inspiration of its students." Before school begins and at the start of every class, prayers are offered in the Lasallian manner, beginning "Let us remember we are in the Holy Presence of God" and ending with the invocations, "St. John Baptist de La Salle, pray for us." "Live Jesus in our Hearts. Forever!"

Athletics

[edit]

The Christian Brothers Academy Colts[7] have competed since 1982 in Division A North of the Shore Conference, which is comprised of public and private high schools in Monmouth and Ocean counties on the Northern Jersey Shore.[20][10] The conference operates under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA).[21] Since entering, the Colts have won over 240 Shore Conference championships. With 1,386 students in grades 10–12, the school was classified by the NJSIAA for the 2019–20 school year as Non-Public A for most athletic competition purposes, which included schools with an enrollment of 381 to 1,454 students in that grade range (equivalent to Group I for public schools).[22]

CBA has been a member of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) since the early 1960s. Since winning their first state title in 1965 (basketball), CBA has won over 145 state championships.[23] At CBA, all sports are governed by the NJSIAA, with the exception of crew, rugby and sailing, which have independent governing bodies. Christian Brothers does not field an interscholastic football program.[24]

Christian Brothers Academy has been recognized nine times by the NJSIAA as the Group A Non-Public winner of the annual ShopRite Cup, which is awarded for overall achievement by athletics programs in the state.[25] The NJSIAA has recognized the school as Group A winner of the Shop Rite Cup Championships in 2004, 2005, 2006,[26] 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019–20.[27][28]

Fall sports

[edit]

Christian Brothers Academy offers cross country, soccer, rugby, sailing, and crew as sports in the fall season.

Crew

Head Coached by Scott Belford. Founded in 2004, the CBA crew team is a dual-season sport. The team won its first New Jersey State Scholastic Rowing Championships in the Novice 4+ event in its inaugural year.[29] In the 2006 season, the team gained national recognition when its newly formed Lightweight 4+ placed 2nd at the Scholastic Rowing Nationals in Saratoga, New York.[30] The Junior 4+ won the New Jersey State Scholastic Championships in 2008. The varsity double took 2nd place at the 2008 Stotesbury Cup, the largest high school regatta in the nation. In 2009, CBA won the senior 1x event at the New Jersey Scholastic Rowing Championships.[31] In the 2011 spring season, the Lightweight 4+ placed second at the Stotesbury Cup and placed first in Nationals in Camden, New Jersey.[32]

Cross country

The cross country team holds the national high school record for consecutive dual meet wins, having surpassed the 265 streak accomplished by Blackstone-Millville Regional High School in Massachusetts from 1974 to 1992.[33] After losing a dual meet to Raritan High School, 15–50, to end the 1973 season, the streak dates back to September 19, 1974, with a 15–49 win over Marist High School to start the season.[34] Blackstone-Millville's record of 265 wins was tied on September 28, 2004, with a win against Marlboro High School and the record broken two days later against Middletown High School North.[35] The team is consistently ranked 1st in New Jersey and has been ranked 1st in the United States on multiple occasions.[36]

Head coach Tom Heath '65, who is responsible for building the cross country team to its current dominant state, retired from coaching at the end of the 2015 season. He won 21 NJSIAA Meet of Champions crowns, 27 NJSIAA state championships and went 42 years without losing a dual-meet.[37] In 2016, assistant coach Sean McCafferty was promoted to cross country head coach, in addition to his role as distance and assistant coach for indoor and outdoor track.

Rugby formed as a club team in 2011 at CBA, being elevated to varsity status in 2013. The team is coached by Patrick Moroney, the head coach of the Monmouth Rugby Club. In their inaugural varsity spring season, the rugby 15's won the New Jersey High School state championship, finishing up an undefeated season. In the fall of 2015, the rugby 7's won their first state championship.

Sailing

Another dual season sport at CBA, the sailing team has existed in some form since 2000, first as a club team beginning in 2000. The 2005 club team qualified for the Interscholastic Sailing Association (ISSA)'s Mallory National Championship. After a year of inactivity, the current iteration of CBA Sailing began in 2007 and was promoted to varsity status in 2011. Since then, the 16-member varsity squad has been an active member of the New Jersey Interscholastic Sailing Association (NJISA), a division of the Mid-Atlantic Scholastic Sailing Association (MASSA). In 2014, the sailing team won their first-ever NJISA League Championship, and in 2015, CBA was crowned New Jersey State Champions for the first time. The Colts made it back-to-back titles, winning the 2016 New Jersey state championship as well. In 2017, CBA qualified for the ISSA Mallory National Championship for the first time as a varsity team and second time in school history. The team's longtime coach is Jody Lutz, a Barnegat Bay Sailing Hall of Fame inductee and multiple-time North American sailing champion.[44]

  • League Championships- 2014 (fall), 2015 (spring), 2015 (fall), 2016 (spring)

Tennis

The tennis team is one of the most accomplished sports at CBA. The Colts have won over 20 state championships, most recently in 2013. The period of success came under the direction of head coach Dan Keane, who retired after the 2016 season after serving as coach since 1978, having led the team to 14 state group titles and an overall record of 649–155.[45]

  • Conference championships: 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992
