St. Hubert Catholic High School for Girls is a private Catholic preparatory school for girls located in the Holmesburg neighborhood Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. With over 425 students, it is the largest all-girls school in Philadelphia.
The grounds of the school was originally home to a Catholic parish which was built in 1924 for German-speaking immigrants. On September 8, 1941, the school was officially opened. At its opening, the student body numbered 631, with 20 sisters serving in the faculty. Since 1941, over 21,000 students have graduated from St. Hubert. St. Hubert is the largest all-girls school in the archdiocese in Philadelphia. The mascot is a deer named Bambie.
From circa 1997 to 2012 the enrollment declined by 55%, the sharpest decrease of any senior high school in the Philadelphia archdiocese, and in 2012 the campus was 40% occupied. The Archdiocese of Philadelphia used the lower enrollment and a budget shortfall of $624,480 from 2006 to 2012 as reasons to have the campus closed.[4] The archdiocese announced on January 6, 2012, that the school would close in June 2012 due to declining enrollment as part of the 2012 Archdiocese of Philadelphia school closings;[5] a final decision on February 24, 2012, reversed that decision.[citation needed] People wishing to save the school held a fundraiser to generate funds needed to keep it open.[6]
Athletics
The high school is home to the largest female athletic program in Philadelphia, with four intramural sports teams and 14 varsity teams. The four intramural sports include flag football, volleyball, badminton, and indoor soccer.

The 14 varsity sports at St. Hubert Catholic High School for Girls include cross country, field hockey, soccer, tennis, volleyball, golf, basketball, bowling, cheerleading, indoor track and field, swimming, outdoor track and field, softball, and lacrosse. St. Hubert also has experienced many athletic accomplishments and has won some championships over the years, including tennis, bowling, and soccer.

To help sponsor the athletics and make sure they run smoothly, there is an Athletic Association that oversees the athletic related events.
