Hudson Catholic High School

I attended for one year in the early 80’s — (that was more than enough). The school was a complete dump, with a mediocre staff of teachers. I’m not even sure administration checked credentials, otherwise they would have picked up on a certain French teacher’s firing from Worcester Academy for a less than acceptable reason. Anyone remember Mrs. Suave? It’s no wonder HCHS was closed, and now demolished. It was only a matter of time. A sub-​par educational institution for sure. GOOD RIDDANCE. I’ll take joy in shopping at Rite Aid on the site!

I add this review solely as a time-​capsule, as it is only a matter of time before this listing is removed. The private high school was closed permanently in 2008, marking its 50^th anniversary.
The school was never competitive in sports, nor was it ever fully modernized. New parking lots, renovated gym floors and new science labs were installed in the last few years before its demise. Classes rarely peaked past twenty students, though often had between five to fifteen.
Hudson Catholic was one of the last four schools in the Archdiocese of Boston before its end. One thing that should be noted is the quality of teachers at the school. Private schools notoriously pay little but expect a lot. Teachers were present for the opportunity of teaching, not saving for retirement.
I graduated in 2005 and still find it stilting that there is no longer an Alma Mater. Whenever you look back in life, the dirtied spots seemed to have been washed over.
