Work continues on the shell of CHS, damaged extensively by the June 2011 tornado, but to what end is unclear.
The future of Cathedral High School remains unclear, despite the recent announcement from the Diocese following months of study.
Cathedral will continue, but merged with Holyoke Catholic High School, according to an announcement Feb. 23 by Springfield Bishop Mitchell Rozanski reported in the Springfield Republican. The two may operate as a single entity at a temporary location as early as this fall. The Purple Gaels?
The bishop said he was continuing to study the question of whether the current CHS building on Surrey Road should be rebuilt.
Wow, that’s an interesting concept. The goal is to continue quality Catholic school education so I must support this. Such sadness, though, we had an amazing experience on Surrey Rd. In the end, it is not up to us, not in our hands. Our job is to continue supporting and know that all will be well.
Take care of yourself and thank you for all the updates.
