From Bishop McCort Catholic High School
Bishop McCort Catholic High School, in partnership with the Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority and the Cambria Regional Chamber of Commerce, marked the completion of the Bishop McCort Blended Academy and Technology Center with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and reception.
The event was held on Monday, March 23, at the Center, located at the corner of Franklin Street and Osborne Street.
The project involved a full renovation of the former AmeriServ Bank building, transforming the space into a modern, multi-purpose educational facility. Highlights of the renovation include state-of-the-art technology to support Blended Academy and online learners, a dedicated eSports and STEM area, and an Internet café that will be open to the public.
“The launch of Bishop McCort Blended Academy marks an exciting new chapter for our school community,” said McCort Principal/CAO Tom Smith. “Today, we celebrate more than a new program—we celebrate a bold step forward in how we educate and empower our students. By combining innovation with our strong tradition of academic excellence and faith formation, we are creating personalized learning opportunities that prepare every student to thrive with purpose and confidence. We are grateful for the outstanding support from our Board of Trustees, alumni, and State Legislators that supported the vision and brought it to life.”
The Bishop McCort Blended Academy and Technology Center renovation was made possible through a grant from the Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority.
