[edit] History
Bremen Started as a dream of a few concerned citizens as far back as 1948, but it was not until 1950 that having a school of their own became a reality. The building first opened at cost of around $1,000,000. They started their first school year in 1953 with a staff of 37 teachers and administrators welcoming 732 students.
