Catholic girls high school to close in Chicago after 150 years

From The Chicago Tribune: More than a decade of sliding enrollment and dwindling donations have forced the closing of St. Scholastica Academy, a girls Catholic high school whose roots in Chicago trace back to the 1860s. Enrollment at St. Scholastica, which has occupied the same red brick monastery in the Rogers Park neighborhood since 1906, has dropped from more than 1,000 students a couple of decades ago to just 147 this year.
