Catholic Schools--A Place To Grow
Archbishop O'Brien Announces Consolidation Plan

At a Press Conference held at the Catholic Center on Thursday, March 4th, Archbishop O'Brien announced the consolidation of 13 Catholic schools with other schools in the Archdiocese effective June 30, 2010.

There are enough seats in the "receiving" schools to accommodate 100% of the students currently enrolled in a consolidated school.
