As enrollment increased, it was necessary to provide larger facilities and construction of the present building began in 1954. The year 1955 marked the official opening of the new Academy building and Samuel Cardinal Stritch dedicated the new school in 1956. Along with the baby boom of the late 1950s into the 1960s, Mount Assisi continued to grow and thrive, necessitating the addition of three modular classrooms in 1969, and two in 1971, three more in 1981. The 2010-2011 school year marked the beginning of the 2 year Celebration of the Academy's 60 year mission to the young women of the Chicago metropolitan area. There are in the region of 6,200 Mount Assisi Academy alumnae. On January 30, 2014, Mount Assisi Academy announced that the school would close in May, citing falling enrollment and funding deficits over the past several years. "We deeply regret the heartache that this causes and promise to support our current students and families in any way that is possible as they seek other educational settings and work through this closing and the transition that it calls for in their lives," Sister Therese Ann Quigney, provincial superior, said in a statement on the school's website. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mount Assisi Academy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
