Archdiocese of Philadelphia temporarily blocks use of Hallahan Girls' School name
PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia's Hallahan Girls' High School is closing, and while there are some that would like to keep the Hallahan name alive, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia is saying no.Lauren Trimbur of Roxborough remembers her days at Hallahan as some of the best."When they say it's a sisterhood, it really is a sisterhood," she said.She says she’s heartbroken that the school graduated its last class this month. The oldest of her three daughters, Charlie, would have been a junior in the fall.Trimbur adds she fully supports an effort by fellow alumni and supporters to open a new independent all-girls school in Center City that could bear the name Hallahan."This would be a great opportunity for them.
