Some encouraging news took place recently from the camp keep it..
Substantial optimism was expressed at the latest North Schuylkill School Board meeting for the possibility of saving the main Cardinal Brennan High School building–built in 1926.. an all girl’s school then that eventually become an integrated Catholic high school that closed in the mid 2000s..
During a presentation to the board, a professional expert advised he believed the building is structurally sound and can be rehabilitated much more inexpensively than if it were razed and replaced by a new school building.
A decision is still to come. But this is giving many hope that the building which once houses voices and laughter of children will once again do the same..
