 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 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.
