WHAM-TV: Catholic School Closings Draw Near

This marks the final week of classes for many of the region's Catholic schools, whose doors will be closed for good as students and teachers say their final goodbyes. 13 WHAM-TV speaks with families affected by the closing of Holy Cross.

A group of 14 cousins from the Tachin, Swan and Nasca families shared breakfast together Friday before catching to bus to Holy Cross School. Their thoughts are on next Friday when their school closes for good.

"I think I'll be sad but I will live through it,” said Jori Tachin. "I don't understand why the school is closing…I’m really upset.” It isn't any easier on their parents. Holy Cross has been part of the Tachin family since 1932.
