Loretto Sacred Heart School To Close

Loretto Sacred Heart Catholic School has announced that the school will close at the end of the 2024-25 school year.

The Loretto Sacred Heart Pastor issued a letter to parents, staff and parishoners, explaining the reasons behind the closure.

The reasons for the closing include declining registration numbers, increased expenses, and the declining condition of the school building.

The school was founded in 1872, closed in 1904, then reopened in 1907. Over the past 150 years, the school has been privileged to provide the gift of a Catholic education for generations in the Lawrence County community.
