St. Benedict Academy (Erie, Pennsylvania)

St. Benedict Academy was an all-girls' high school that was located in the city of Erie, Pennsylvania.

The school operated from 1869 until 1988 and was run by the Benedictine Sisters of Erie.

The curriculum consisted of Christian Doctrine, English, Sacred History, Drawing, Music and Embroidery.

Bishop John Mark Gannon asked the Benedictine Sisters in 1951 if they would like to increase their school population for the improvement of Catholic education in Erie.

The new Saint Benedict Academy opened its first classes in September 1955 with an enrollment of 459 students representing 19 parishes.
