Bishop Ford High School to close
Bishop Ford Central Catholic High School, which for many years was a leading educational institution in Brooklyn, is closing, school officials announced Monday.
The school, located at 500 19th St. in Park Slope, will close its doors forever in June, upon completion of the current term. The school opened 52 years ago.
The decision to close Bishop Ford was made by the school’s board of directors at an emergency meeting Sunday night, according to Principal Thomas P. Arria Jr., who posted an open letter to parents of students on the school’s website on Monday.
