(WPXI) – Parents and students are fighting to keep Vincentian Academy in McCandless open. It was announced in late February the Catholic school, which is run by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, will shut down at the end of this school year. Reasons given for the closure include lack of financial resources and declining enrollment. On Monday, the Vincentian Academy Parent Association weighed in on the closure, sending a letter asking the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth to keep the school open until at least the incoming freshman class graduates. The letter brings up another school, Presentation Academy in Kentucky, that was in a similar situation in the 1990s. It was saved by a grassroots effort and is still open today. A meeting will be held Wednesday night in Vincentian Academy’s cafeteria by the parent association, which said it will separate fact from rumor and share a detailed plan of what lies ahead.
