St. Catherine School, a beacon of Catholic education for 78 years, sadly announces its closure in June 2024. Father Nicholas “Nick” Apetorgbor, Pastor of St. Catherine of Alexandria Parish, expressed gratitude towards everyone involved in the school's legacy, stating, “We wish to thank every teacher, administrator, priest, nun, family member, and student who chose to be a part of St. Catherine School legacy.” Interim School Principal, Mandy Thronas-Brown, added, “Please know just how special you are to our community, and we thank you for all of your hard work, dedication and love you have given over the years.”

The school and parish are committed to celebrating St. Catherine School’s contribution to the community since 1946. To commemorate the school's legacy, a special invitation has been extended to all to join the Farewell Mass with Bishop Larry Silva followed by dinner on June 5th, 2024.
