  • The Archdiocese of Philadelphia and the Faith and the Future Foundation, today announced that an agreement-in-principle has been reached to create an independently managed Catholic school system that would encompass the 17 high schools within the Archdiocese as well as its four schools of special education. Archbishop Charles Chaput made the announcement at a press conference held at St Hubert Catholic High School.

  • The Foundation will assume strategic and operational management of these 21 Archdiocesan schools effective September 1, focusing upon major fundraising, enrollment management, marketing and cultivating best practices in leadership and education.

  • Girls from St. Hubert Catholic High School listen as the announcement is made.

  • The responsibilities of OCE remain focused upon curriculum and standards, academic and spiritual development of students, co-curricular and extra-curricular programming, and the professional development of teachers.

  • A round of applause came from the students of St. Hubert Catholic High School for Girls in Northeast Philadelphia, where the press conference was held Aug. 21.

  • “The independence of the Catholic secondary system, with the schools of special education, was critical to our ability to more fully address the fundraising and enrollment needs of our schools,” said Ed Hanway. “With capacity available to educate an additional 15,000 students, we fully intend to grow. This is a ground-breaking approach to educating our children.”

  • “Today’s agreement between the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and the Faith in the Future Foundation is unlike any agreement that a diocese has achieved with its lay leadership,” said Archbishop Charles J. Chaput.
