Which schools actually closed?[edit]

From http://www.philly.com/philly/education/136823433.html there was a list of closures but I see Conwell Egan HS did not ultimately close. I wonder which ones actually did?? WhisperToMe (talk) 07:14, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

BTW the URL for the article index was http://www.philly.com/philly/education/137006643.html (still on the wayback machine) WhisperToMe (talk) 12:24, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.philly.com/philly/education/20120205_At_least_24_archdiocese_schools_appeal_closings.html states 24 schools appealed against the planned closures WhisperToMe (talk) 16:36, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also http://www.philly.com/philly/education/20120205_At_least_24_archdiocese_schools_appeal_closings.html states that the archdiocese go the % occupancy for St. Laurentian (which they considered closing in 2012) wrong. WhisperToMe (talk) 17:16, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WhisperToMe (talk) 14:28, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In http://articles.philly.com/2012-06-19/news/32300073_1_regional-school-parish-school-manayunk a parent speculates on why the Holy Child site was chosen for the merger (to compensate for Manayunk going from four parishes to one) WhisperToMe (talk) 17:19, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also https://whyy.org/articles/st-bridget-and-holy-child-schools-slated-to-merge/ states Holy Cross and Our Mother of Consolation were to merge WhisperToMe (talk) 15:37, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Independence Mission Schools[edit]

I notice the archdiocese does not list the Independence Mission Schools (some Catholic schools in Philly) on its site. Is there a reason for that? WhisperToMe (talk) 21:28, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I found the answer! I also see https://whyy.org/articles/can-we-call-it-a-comeback-for-philly-catholic-schools/ WhisperToMe (talk) 19:36, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
