The school is the first the Pittsburgh Diocese has built in 45 years.
As he readied to sign his name to a white steel beam at the site of the new Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic High School under construction in Cranberry, Bishop David Zubik said he doesn’t see the upcoming decommission of the school’s location in Pittsburgh’s Troy Hill neighborhood as a closure. Instead, he views it as giving birth to the new school. “It’s really a dream come true,” he said. Inviting construction workers to join him, Zubik was the first to sign his name on the ceremonial beam, which was then hoisted onto the school’s steel structure Friday as part of a “topping out” ceremony. Crowned with a broom to represent a “clean sweep” with no construction accidents, as well as a potted tree to symbolize “topping out,” the beam was the …

A ceremonial steel beam will be added to the structure. Plus, get the latest on the building’s construction from the Diocese of Pittsburgh’s chief facilities officer, Michael J. Arnold.
One of the last steel components for the new Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic High School in Cranberry almost is in place. On Friday, the Diocese of Pittsburgh will hold a “topping out” ceremony at the site along Route 228 as a ceremonial steel beam is hoisted onto the structure. Then it’s back to work. Michael J. Arnold, chief facilities officer for the Diocese, said the project is now entering its seventh month of construction. “For the most part, we’re tracking on schedule,” he said. Expected to open in time for the 2014-15 school year, the 179,000 square-foot private school is located on 71 acres near Cranberry’s border with Seven Fields. Once finished it will be able to accommodate up to 1,000 students. Two years ago, the diocese …

A ceremony was held Saturday at the site for the new school.
As he stood before the crowd gathered for the groundbreaking at the site of what will be the new Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic High School in Cranberry, Bishop David Zubik spoke of his own catholic school days. It was the first day of his junior year and Sister Malcolm, a new teacher with the school, furiously wrote on a tablet, ignoring the boisterous students who greeted each other after a summer apart. When the classroom finally quieted, Sister Malcolm looked up from her desk. She told the students they were not children when they entered her room. Her goal was to turn them into adult men and woman—and ones who knew Jesus. That goal remains the same today at North Catholic High School. “What Sister Malcolm shared with us on that first …

The township's planning staff will recommend that the board delay plans for the high school at next week's regular meeting.
Cranberry planning officials continue to examine plans for the proposed new North Catholic High School to be built along 65 acres on Route 228 near the border with Seven Fields. After delaying approval of a land development application for the new Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic High School earlier this month, planning commission members at Monday's workshop meeting looked over revised plans for the school, which removed future space for a stadium and other potential developments from the renderings. Still, Ron Henshaw, Cranberry’s director of community development, said there are more issues that need addressed in the plans. Henshaw said he and township staff will recommend that officials again delay approval of the plans when the planning …

Plans for the high school will be presented at the next Cranberry Planning Commission meeting.
Developers are expected to detail land development plans for the new Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic High School in Cranberry at the township’s next planning commission meeting on Monday. The meeting, which will be open for public comment, will be at 6 p.m. at the Cranberry Township Municipal Center on Rochester Road. During a Monday workshop meeting, planning commission members reviewed a rendering for the proposed 179,000 square-foot private school, which will be located along Route 228 on 65 acres near Cranberry’s border with Seven Fields. Besides the building, the plans depicted a new road to be built in the hopes of easing traffic that the school will add to the roads. The yet unnamed roadway would lead from an intersection with …
