History
In 1970, the school's enrollment doubled after the court ordered desegragtion of public schools.
In 1972, a federal judge prohibited the city of Montgomery from allowing the St. James School and three other schools from using city recreational facilities. In 1976 the Saint James School, along with the Montgomery Academy, was named in a suit filed against United States Secretary of the Treasury William Simon and Commissioner of Internal Revenue Donald C. Alexander by five black women from Montgomery charging that the two men had encouraged the development of segregated schools by allowing them tax-deductible status.
