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

Background[edit]

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]
