Timothy Schellhardt ’85, Chairman of the Board of Christian Brothers College High School (CBC) announced the resignation of its President, Mike England ’83 effective January 11, 2013. Schellhardt announced the resignation and praised England’s many contributions to the school and the CBC community by saying, “Mike England has been passionate in his representation of CBC and its Lasallian mission throughout the St. Louis Community. His recent contributions in enrollment and cultivation of the successful Honors program have helped establish CBC as one of the most respected and appreciated private high schools in the area and his legacy to the CBC community must be commended.”  This program is significant in attracting additional students to our diverse and inclusive Lasallian school and another reason, among many, why young men choose to come to CBC.
