Father Judge High School. Fifteen months after its closure, the building that housed North Catholic High School for 84 years was sold to a charter school. In September 2011, The Marianna Bracetti Academy Charter School purchased the North Catholic building and campus at 1842 Torresdale Ave. from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia for $3.5 million. Due to the refusal to keep the school open for one more year to allow a transition to the Jesuit Cristo Rey Network of high school, Jason Marquess, head of the board of the Friends of Northeast Catholic High School (FONECHS), said that they would no longer give money to the Archdiocese, but would direct their funds to college scholarships for the children of alumni. "The Archdiocese has abandoned inner-city Catholic education," said Marquess, "We're not going to support them in that decision." The North Catholic Alumnae Association continues to award tuition assistance grants to students attending Catholic schools. Thirty -three city parishes have also closed in the last half-century. Child Abuse In December 2005, Oblate priest James J Behan was sentenced to twelve years probation relative to having a sexual relationship with a student from 1978 to 1980, while Behan taught at Northeast Catholic. In January 2013, Charles Englehardt, an oblate priest, was convicted of child abuse that allegedly occurred in 1998 and 1999 at a local parish while he resided at the faculty house at the high school. The accuser's credibility has subsequently been called into question. Englehardt died in custody in November 2014 while his case was on appeal. John McDevitt, an Oblate priest who taught at the high school in the 1970s, was revealed as a child molester in a lawsuit settlement by the Oblates in 2011. Academics All NC students had to complete four years of English and theology, three years of mathematics, science, and social studies, one year of physical education/health, and a half year in word processing and service. Electives were available in foreign languages (French, German, Latin, and Spanish), television production, computer science, business/accounting, journalism, art, and music. Online AP Classes A new AP ON-Line program began in September 2007. Several students chose A.P. courses offered in conjunction with College Board and Keystone Virtual. In addition to the A.P. classes offered in school (Literature, Language, and Calculus), the following A.P. courses were offered online: European History, U.S. History, U.S. Government, and Psychology.
