St. Patrick’s School Closes After 150+ Years

St. Patrick School in Owego closed its doors after more than 150 years of operation yesterday. The school had 85 students, from pre-K to fifth grade. These students will now attend the public school in their district, or private schools like St. James in Endicott and Immaculate Conception school in Ithaca. The Catholic school is closing after falling enrollment numbers and a large budget deficit.
