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 …

Cranberry officials are expected to vote on approval for the plans on June 28.
The new Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic High School along Route 228 in Cranberry is one stop closer to starting construction. A public hearing for the 179,000 square-foot private school was held Thursday at the Cranberry Township board of supervisors meeting. No residents testified during the hearing. With the hearing now closed, officials are expected to vote June 28 on whether to approve plans for the new high school. Michael Arnold, chief facilities officer for the Pittsburgh diocese, said the board’s decision later this month would affect when construction begins on the project. Although the school originally was intended to be open in time for the 2013-14 school year, that no longer is the case. Instead, Arnold said he hopes work will …
