Inscription.
Bishop England High School was once located on these grounds. The school moved here in 1916 and opened a newly erected main building in 1922. When the high school relocated to Daniel Island in 1998, the College of Charleston acquired the property to build the Addlestone Library.

An institution of the Catholic Church, Bishop England High School provided spiritual, intellectual, and physical education to thousands of students at this site and prepared them for a productive life in service to God, family, and community.

Placed here by Bishop England alumni to celebrate the high school's centennial year.

Erected 2016 by Bishop England High Alumni.
