Final Year
The 2004-2005 school year was the last operating year for Sacred Heart Intermediate and Sacred Heart High. The newly enstated Bishop Martino decided to close grades 9–12 due to a massive debt and low enrollment. Despite a campaign run by the school which raised the entire $250,000 debt in pledges in a mere two weeks, the bishop's decision remained final, and the school closed in June 2005. The last graduation ceremony was held in St. Rose of Lime Church and graduated 23 students. Grades 4–8 were relocated to Sacred Heart Elementary (Carbondale).

“But she is early up and out,
To trim the year or strip its bones;”
