- The historic Tudor House mansion that Gilmour's Admission, Advancement, Business, Communication, and Marketing Offices now call home was completed in 1924. It was commissioned by Cleveland industrialist and founder of the Cleveland Foundry Co. Francis E. Drury as a near-replica of his original home on Euclid Avenue's Millionaires' Row. In 1945, Brothers Theophane Schmitt and Gonzaga Day of the Congregation of Holy Cross of Notre Dame, Indiana, purchased the Gates Mills, Ohio, property, known locally as Cedar Hill Farm. They oversaw its rehabilitation and, in 1946, founded Gilmour Academy, named for the Right Reverend Richard Gilmour. The second bishop of the Diocese of Cleveland, Gilmour, was a vocal advocate of Catholic education from his appointment in 1872 to his death in 1891. As an accredited independent Catholic school in Northeast Ohio, Gilmour Academy is unique in our ability to teach the whole child. Students are prepared—not just academically but also personally and spiritually—to discover the person they are called to be. Founded in 1946 by the Brothers of Holy Cross, Gilmour empowers students of all faiths to ask tough questions, think critically and grow spiritually. Through religious studies, social service, and an emphasis on leadership, students from 18 months to 18 years emerge with a strong moral compass and a sense of purpose, ready to apply their talents to making the world a more just and humane place. Our Holy Cross mission is the foundation from which we educate the mind and empower every Gilmour student's heart. Recognizing that each of us is a work in progress, at various points along a journey that far outlives the time we spend at Gilmour. Building competence on a bedrock of academic rigor and the desire for excellence. Strengthening the confidence and conviction to do what is right in the face of injustice. Valuing deeds over words and allowing ourselves to evolve on the path to discovering our purpose, vision, and voice. Using our competence and courage not as a means to an end but as an instrument to live the Gospel and better the world around us every day. New for the 2019-2020 academic year, the daily schedule for students in Grades 7-12 includes a daily community block where students have an opportunity to choose various clubs and activities. This 90-minute flexible-use block—inclusive of lunch—allows for off-campus experiences and co-curricular pursuits, meetings with teachers during office hours, engaging in physical activity at one of our athletic facilities, working on assignments in a study hall, and so on.
