After a one year reprieve, a South Jersey high school will face closure at the end of this year. Sacred Heart High School, in Vineland, NJ will be shut down this June after being spared last year.

The school also has a large deficit. $1500 tuition discounts will be offered to students to attend one of 6 other high schools in the diocese. St. Joseph High, in Hammonton, is the closest to Sacred Heart High.
