Parents and students at Saint Mary's High School in Westfield are breathing a sigh of relief after it was announced on Thursday that the school would not be closing after this school year.
A letter from Springfield Catholic Diocese Bishop Mitchell Rozanski indicates a one-year, 300-thousand-dollar grant will be provided to support Saint Mary's for the upcoming fiscal year.
The Saint Mary's community had rallied to save the school after the original closing announcement was made earlier this month.
