Closing

The campus was then changed to a co-ed public school in Cleveland, Whitney M. Young Middle School in 1973. In 2007 it was renamed to Whitney M. Young School, then in 2009 Whitney M. Young High School. The original crosses that were on the building remain in place, except for the one on the school's chimney. With the closing of Hoban Dominican High School, St. Joseph Academy and Erieview Catholic became the only area Catholic high school in the City of Cleveland dedicated to the education of young women.
