St. Dennis Catholic School and St. Joseph Catholic School in Lockport will be combined as a two-campus school for the 2023-2024 school year.
St. Dennis Catholic School and St. Joseph Catholic School in Lockport will combine as one campus during a transition year for the 2023-2024 school year with the goal of formally creating a regional school including Homer Glen for the 2024-2025 school year.
“The combination of St. Dennis and St. Joseph schools into a regional Catholic school offers a tremendous opportunity to build upon our academic excellence and expand it to students who have not had access to a Catholic education in the Diocese of Joliet,” said diocese spokeswoman Mary Massingale. “This approach represents a positive step toward increasing enrollment.
St. Dennis and St. Joseph schools were placed in the urgent phase because the combined enrollment of both schools remained mostly static or declined, structural maintenance needs have increased in both frequency and cost, and staffing needs have struggled with a nationwide educator shortage, according to the release.
