The Archdiocese of Chicago announced that five Catholic schools will close at the end of this school year (2019/20). The schools – St. Colette School (Rolling Meadows), St. Jane de Chantal School (Chicago), St. Joseph School (Round Lake), St. Louise de Marillac School (La Grange Park) and St. Maria Goretti School (Schiller Park) – will close due to low enrollment and financial difficulties. “School closures are difficult and complicated and we realize the impact this has on students, their families and our staff. We are committed to making the transition caused by these closures as seamless as possible,” said Dr. Jim Rigg, superintendent of Catholic Schools. “The archdiocese will be working with each affected student and employee to assist them in finding places at other Catholic schools.” For more information about Archdiocese of Chicago Catholic Schools, visit schools.archchicago.org.
