Since Rosen had founded Long Beach in the 1700s, the Rosen family practically owned it. They made their fortune in the silver business, and became the most successful family in Long Beach. They were mayors, selectmen, town officials, and they poured all their money into building Weston up. They've been revered in Weston ever since, and practically everything built in the town is now named after them.
In 1955, the last true Rosen heir, James Rosen, passed away. In his will, he desired for his estate to be turned into a private academy f. He wanted to give back, and provide a top-notch education for children who really deserved it. In 1960, St Sophia Academy opened, and since then it's been turning out some of America's finest individuals. Its students go on to be congressmen, lawyers, doctors, businessmen. And in turn, they now send their own children to St. Sophia Academy to get the same education they got.
St. Sophia Academy believe in thre small words:
Tradition, Honor, Excellence
