The former Sacred Heart School Building, located at 24 South Robinson Avenue, will be used as a new educational facility for the Newburgh Enlarged City School District.

The Newburgh Board of Education approved a lease agreement with Saint Mother Teresa Parish, which operates Sacred Heart and St. Francis Churches in Newburgh.

Acting Superintendent Ed Forgit said, “It will be a separate campus of Newburgh Free Academy.” The board also voted on the approval of a newly appointed house principal for the campus.

The lease agreement will be effective January 3, 2022 through June 30, 2023, at the monthly lease amount of $5,000, according to the lease document.
