Diocesan Schools
The county is also served by the Diocese of Scranton. The Diocese of Scranton operates four regional systems of diocesan schools. The Holy Cross School System serves Lackawanna County, and is currently composed of seven elementary centers and one secondary center. The Holy Cross System is the second-largest of the four systems, and Holy Cross High School is the only diocesan high school operating a capacity. The Holy Cross System is the result of diocesan-wide consolidations made in 2007 in response to decades of declining enrollment. As recently as 2000, Lackawanna County was home to four high schools and nearly fifteen elementary schools. While the current configuration of sites and schools educates a fraction of the students once enrolled in Catholic schools in Lackawanna County, vast improvements have been made to the curriculum, and millions of dollars of capital gains have been invested in the buildings and technologies of the schools. As part of the ongoing effort to stabilize enrollment and offer a sustainable school system which is "spiritually sound and academically excellent," the Holy Cross System is embarking on a more aggressive advertising campaign to promote Catholic education and establish stronger and more diverse programs at the elementary level. Additionally, Sacred Heart Elementary in Carbondale and Marian Catholic Elementary in Scranton will close next year and be incorporated into LaSalle Academy and All Saint's Academy, respectively. This will cut the costs of sustaining two faculties and buildings which currently operate at less than fifty-percent capacity collectively, and bolster the enrollments of the hubs of elementary education.- Holy Cross High SchoolHoly Cross High School (Pennsylvania)Holy Cross High School is a Roman Catholic secondary school located in Dunmore, Pennsylvania.
