History

Bishop Hafey High School was constructed in the 1960s in the Maple Manor section of Hazleton, between PA State Route 93 and PA State Route 309. The school was the replacement to the first Catholic high school in the Hazleton area, which was St. Gabriel's. The school was recommended for closure in 2006 by Meitler Consulting, who was retained by the Diocese of Scranton to study the school's feasibility. Bishop Joseph Martino ordered the school to be closed at the end of the 2006-2007 academic year. In July 2007, Bishop Hafey was consolidated with the three other diocesan high schools in Luzerne County (Bishop Hoban, Bishop O'Reilly, and Seton Catholic into Holy Redeemer High School, located at the former Bishop Hoban site).

In August 2007, the building reopened as Holy Family Academy. But on April 26, 2011, due to the decreased number of enrolled students in Holy Family and high-maintenance costs at the building, Bishop Bambera told parents that Holy Family Academy would move from the Bishop Hafey High School building into the former St. Joseph's Memorial School in Hazleton. (The relocated Holy Family Academy is the only remaining Roman Catholic school in the Hazleton area.)

In September 2011, the Diocese of Scranton sold the Bishop Hafey building and its property to the Hazleton Area School District for $5.5 million. HASD directors announced that the building would become "Maple Manor Elementary / Middle School", a kindergarten through eighth grade school. On April 30, 2012, the Diocese of Scranton officially transferred ownership of the Bishop Hafey building and its property to the Hazleton Area School District. On February 23, 2013 the remaining contents of Bishop Hafey were sold at auction.

Facilities

The two-story brick high school's entrance is covered with a metal canopy. The combined cafeteria/auditorium includes a stage. The property also includes football, soccer and baseball fields, along with parking lots.
