St. Edmund School Closing at School Year's End

The principal cited declining enrollment and fiscal difficulties for the closure.

St. Edmund Parish School in Oak Park will close at the end of the academic year.

The decision to close the Catholic school comes after declining enrollment and fiscal difficulties, according to a letter from Principal Karen Rebhan-Csuk to parents.

“St. Edmund Parish School has a rich history and wonderful story,” Rebhan-Csuk wrote. “We hoe that you will join us in celebrating the school in the coming months and also help keep the school memories and contributions alive even after the doors close.”
