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:
“The history of mankind interests us only as it exhibits a steady gain of truth and right, in the incessant conflict which it records between the material and the moral nature.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“While the Republic has already acquired a history world-wide, America is still unsettled and unexplored. Like the English in New Holland, we live only on the shores of a continent even yet, and hardly know where the rivers come from which float our navy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“the future is simply nothing at all. Nothing has happened to the present by becoming past except that fresh slices of existence have been added to the total history of the world. The past is thus as real as the present.”
—Charlie Dunbar Broad (18871971)
