Notre Dame High to Close for Declining Enrollment
Notre Dame High School in Upper Providence will shut in June due to inflation and falling enrollments. Opened in 1926 as a private academy and since 1935 as a girls’ diocesan school, it has operated with enrollment below 600 for three years, now at 511. The announcement came after the Archdiocesan Office of Education informed the staff Thursday, and students were informed Friday.
