Loretto Sacred Heart School Announces Closure

Loretto Sacred Heart Catholic School has made the difficult decision to cease operations at the conclusion of this academic year. This announcement comes as school officials cite a significant drop in enrollment as the primary reason for the closure. In recent years, the institution has already scaled back its offerings, limiting its services to Pre-K through first grade. Currently, the school is facing a challenging situation, with only nine students enrolled for the ongoing school year.

Looking ahead, the outlook appears even more concerning, as only six students have registered for the upcoming 2025-26 school year. Given these numbers, school officials have determined that it is no longer feasible to maintain operations with such a limited student body. The decision reflects the broader challenges faced by many educational institutions in sustaining enrollment and providing quality education.
