The American Journal reported on May 14, 1975, that parents at St. Hyacinth’s School asked to meet with the Roman Catholic Bishop, The Most Rev. Edward O’Leary, in an effort to keep the school open.
The Parish School Committee and Parish Council had recommended closing the doors. The school, in 1975, had grades kindergarten through fourth grade with an enrollment of 55. Grades 5 through 8 had been dropped the preceding year.
