Saints Neumann Goretti High School, also known asNeuman-Goretti, is a privateCatholic high school located at 1736 South Tenth Street in theSouth Philadelphia area ofPhiladelphia,Pennsylvania. It is operated by theArchdiocese of Philadelphia.
In fall 2004 Saints John Neumann and Maria Goretti Catholic High School was created by a merger ofSaint John Neumann High School, established in 1934, andSaint Maria Goretti High School, established in 1955.[3][4][5] The school is located in the former Goretti campus.
Saint John Neumann High School was an all-maleRoman Catholic high school located inSouth Philadelphia.Southeast Catholic High School opened at the intersection of Seventh Street and Christian Street in 1934. The school becameBishop Neumann High School, afterJohn Neumann, in 1955. In March of the following year the school moved to 2600 Moore Street, its last location. In August 1978 the school becameSt. John Neumann High School to reflect Neumann's canonization. In 1992 Neumann had 853 students.
The former Neumann campus became St. John Neumann Place, a housing development for senior citizens.[6]
SaintMaria Goretti High School was an all-femaleRoman Catholic high school located at 1736 South Tenth Street inSouth Philadelphia. Goretti opened in 1955. In 1992 Goretti had 970 students.
In October 1992 consultants told the archdiocese that Neumann and Goretti should be consolidated onto Neumann's site. By December of that year the archdiocese decided not to consolidate the two schools. In 2003 Neumann had 608 students, while Goretti had 683 students. By then the combined populations of both schools declined by 29 percent in an 11-year span. In March 2003 the archdiocese asked the faculty and staff of Neumann to consider merging or closing the school as the school had increasing deficits and a decreasing student population; Goretti had a stable financial situation. In June of that year the committees unanimously requested a merge. In September of that year Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua, the Archbishop of Philadelphia, decided that the merge should occur.[3]
In 2005 most of the students at Neumann Goretti came from South Philadelphia.[3] During the first school year Neumann Goretti used the Neumann athletic fields.[3]
