History
In September 1947, Casady Hall opened its doors for the first time. Thirty-six students in three grades - seventh, eighth, and ninth - and four faculty members shared 38 acres (150,000 m2) which included a small lake, a house, and two barns. Tuition was $500 per year.
In 2007, Casady's enrollment grew to more than 875 students and 115 faculty members throughout the 29-building college campus-like atmosphere on 80 acres (320,000 m2) now in the heart of Oklahoma City.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“He wrote in prison, not a History of the World, like Raleigh, but an American book which I think will live longer than that. I do not know of such words, uttered under such circumstances, and so copiously withal, in Roman or English or any history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A country grows in history not only because of the heroism of its troops on the field of battle, it grows also when it turns to justice and to right for the conservation of its interests.”
—Aristide Briand (1862–1932)
“One classic American landscape haunts all of American literature. It is a picture of Eden, perceived at the instant of history when corruption has just begun to set in. The serpent has shown his scaly head in the undergrowth. The apple gleams on the tree. The old drama of the Fall is ready to start all over again.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
