The Blue Ribbon Commission has recommended the closure of four high schools: St. Hubert’s, West Catholic, Conwell-Egan and Monsignor Bonner/Archbishop Prendergast.
These potential closures will not affect the continuation of a four year Connelly Foundation sponsored scholarship. These scholarships are transferrable to another of the 13 Archdiocesan high schools that will operate in the five-county area in 2012-13. The Connelly Foundation is committed to support Catholic education in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
When we have had the opportunity to study the details and impact of the Blue Ribbon Report, we will communicate with schools, educators, students and their families.
