All Hallows High School will close.

Sad to report, the leadership of All Hallows High School on East 164th Street has announced that the school will close at the end of June. I think it has 320 students total in grades 9-12. In September, it included twenty girls from the closing of St. Barnabas High School.

Please see the school's website at https://www.allhallows.org/

The current tuition is $7,000, but the cost per student is $11,000.

A mile to the south is Cardinal Hayes High School, supposedly with an enrollment of 748. I wonder whether its administration will seek transfers from All Hallows. I am quite certain there are spare classrooms. The president of Cardinal Hayes HS seems to be Dr. Michael Carey.   

The word Hallows means Saints. The Irish Christian Brothers ran a successful high school at All Saints parish at East 129th Street and Madison Avenue.

Its history may be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Hallows_High_School

The school is about 0.3 mile east of the new Yankee Stadium.
