Immaculata Academy was a private, Roman Catholic high school for girls in Hamburg, New York within the Diocese of Buffalo.

Background

Immaculata Academy was established in 1928 by the Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph and closed June 2016.[2] More than 4,200 girls attended the school during this time.[3] While functioning, the school was the "sister school" to St. Francis High School. After the school closed, a luxury apartment complex was opened on its site, with mostly new buildings but using the school's gym.[4]
