Back in May 2021, the Diocese of Harrisburg broke ground on an ambitious project.
It planned a top-to-bottom renovation of the 70-year-old Catholic Elementary School on Liberty Street, plus the renovation of the even older (112-year-old) Shanahan Center on North Street.
In addition, the two buildings, which had always been separated, would be joined together by a new connector and entryway.
When done, the diocese would be able to consolidate its two elementary schools at this single location.
After a successful fundraising campaign and two years of construction, the project, led by Harrisburg-based JEM Group, is now complete. Beginning this semester, students from pre-K through eighth grade attend school at this single location.
We thought our readers would like to see the interior of the new Cathedral Education Center, home of the unified Catholic Elementary School, located just behind St. Patrick Cathedral. For more information, visit www.hbgdiocese.org/catholic-schools.
