John W. Hallahan Catholic Girls’ High School in Philadelphia had a full day of events Feb. 5 in which the students reflected on love and acceptance in their school, leading to the designation of it as a “No Place for Hate School.” The nationally run program was sponsored by the Anti-Defamation League and presented at Hallahan, the all-girls archdiocesan high school located at 311 North 19th Street in center city Philadelphia.
