St. Catharine High School is an all-girls, private, Roman Catholic high school in the Bronx, New York. It is located within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York. ==History== The Sisters of Mercy, founded by Mother Catherine McAuley in Dublin, Ireland, opened an Academy in the Washington Heights section of New York City in September 1889. The classes included were grades 1 through 12. At that time, the first Academy resembled the large estates which surrounded it. Toward the end of the 19th century as registration increased, the Sisters erected a new building across the street at 539 West 152nd Street. In 1900 the University of the State of New York granted a Regents charter to the school. The rapid growth of the area and the great increase in enrollment showed the inadequacy of the accommodations. The elementary grades in the Academy were discontinued and these classrooms were used for high school students. Facilities were not sufficient even with this change. It was then necessary to build a much larger school. In the fall of 1953 the old building was sold and the Academy moved to its present location at 2250 Williamsbridge Road. The school continues to undergo a series of renovations and improvements. The present enrollment of St. Catharine Academy is approximately 750 girls. 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「St. Catharine Academy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
