"Catholic high school in expansion mode"


http://www.chron.com/neighborhood/spring/news/article/Catholic-high-school-in-expansion-mode-5855462.php


"Frassati Catholic High School in Spring started small when it opened its doors last year to a freshman class of 45 students.


Already there was a vision to grow into something much bigger, said principal Sister John Paul Myers. A master plan for more buildings to accommodate future students had been in the works since the beginning."

"Chicago’s Catholic school system announced nine schools in the city and the suburbs will close their doors at the end of this coming school year.




The nine schools are three times as many as last year. Two more schools will be reconfigured. Schools in Lake and Cook County will be impacted and the suburbs are included.




The archdiocese says its due to low enrollment and shifting demographics.
1,280 students will be affected and more than 200 teachers and staff."
