SCHOOL SPOTLIGHT: 'The Barracks' is the new home to BC's Campus Ministry
Read MoreThis story that you are reading was written from inside “The Barracks” at Benedictine Military School. “The Barracks” is the new nickname of room B1, previously known as “The Fishbowl” because of the five floor-to-ceiling glass windows that face the Academic Well.Since 1963, when Benedictine moved from Bull Street to Seawright Drive, this room has served many purposes. It was a classroom for subjects like theology, English, and history. It even served as one of many filming locations on BC’s campus for the 2017 movie “Dear Dictator,” starring Michael Caine, Katie Holmes, Odeya Rush, and Jason Biggs (Jim from the “American Pie” movies), who portrayed a teacher when he filmed a “Dear Dictator” scene in this room. -

SCHOOL SPOTLIGHT: BC hosts Holocaust education program
Read MoreBenedictine Military School hosted the Hate Ends Now Cattle Car: Stepping In And Out Of Darkness tour which, in conjunction with the Savannah Jewish Educational Alliance, visited BC’s campus Jan. 5-6. BC served as the hub for all Savannah Chatham County Public School System students chosen to participate in the immersive 360-degree multimedia Holocaust education program.Benedictine senior Joshua Sussman was among numerous BC Cadets, monks, administrators, faculty, and staff who experienced a 20-minute video presentation inside a ShadowLight cattle car, a replica of the ones used during World War II to forcibly deport Jews and other targeted groups to concentration camps, labor camps, and extermination camps throughout Europe from 1941-44. The wooden freight car was intended to transport cattle. Instead, up to 150 people were crammed into the locked, windowless box car and traveled for an average of four days without food, water, restroom facilities, or the ability to sit. Many deportees died in the cattle cars.
