Don’t worry. They will build a new school in the image of comrade Barack.
A mosque soon to follow. Welkome to the new America “May allah BARAKA be praised”!
From the Web site of the new $65,000,000 high school in Royersford: http://www.pjphs.org/node/118
“The tuition for an individual student attending Pope John Paul II High School in 2010-2011 will be one thousand dollars above the basic diocesan high school tuition.”
The catholic church didn’t and has never provided anything past the eighth grade elementary school in Middle Bucks County outside the city. They cared even less about the ‘burbs than the city for decades before today.
Kids abandoned the catholic system and enrolled in public school when the oldest hit ninth grade and would’ve had to go to a not so good HS in lower Bucks. Then the rest of their siblings followed about one every two weeks. Takes awhile for big families.
The school in lower Bucks was Archbishop Wood, separate buildings for boys and girls and not in a great area.
The two famous graduates from that HS are Terry and Michael Schiavo.
Excerpt:
...
“The Archdiocese said declining enrollments with students in “half-empty” buildings were the reasons Dougherty and North Catholic would be closed.”
...
North Catholic, ...
capacity ~ 1,700 students, has 551 enrolled
Dougherty ... c
apacity ~ 2,000 students, has 642 enrolled
The people have spoken. Enrollment is DOWN.
So sad.
Sad, sad, sad.
The country was so much better when all Catholic kids could go to Catholic schools which their parents could afford.
Alas, those days are gone forever.
I would imagine some of these kids are going to be in for a “culture shock” when they attend a public/charter school.
