"The Academy was first located in two buildings at Second and Seneca Streets. It opened with 21 day students, one boarder and one music student. Within four years the growth of the school and the press of downtown development necessitated the AcademyÃÂs move to a new site, at Seventh and Jackson Streets, where a new building was built and dedicated in 1884. By the turn of the century, the growth of both the school and the city once again caused the sisters to consider moving, this time to what was then considered ÃÂthe wildernessÃÂ of Capitol Hill. Under the leadership of their energetic new Superior, Sister Mary Leontine, construction of the present Holy Names Academy was begun in 1906. Bishop Edward J. OÃÂDea presided at the laying of the cornerstone in 1907 and at the dedication of the school on November 9, 1908, occasions that brought together many members of the community."
