Catholic High School in Peoria

Recently the Journal Star ran a proposal from Fr. Terry Cassidy regarding the future of Catholic education at the Secondary level in Peoria. Fr. Terry advocates the selling of the land received by PND and their current campus. Money would then be used to purchase Manual High School. District 150 is cash strapped and facing the consolidation of some of its high schools already. The remaining balance could be used to fund scholarship endowments. This central location would be well served by the 474 overpass and also allow the Church to practice its social justice teachings as well. Please post your thoughts on the idea. God bless!
