The former Holy Rosary School is located on East 28th Street, next to Holy Rosary Church, in Erie, Pennsylvania. The school was built in 1947 under the direction of then-pastor Fr. Walter Conway. The school was merged with the nearby Saint John the Baptist School in 2004, and finally closed in 2012 due to decreasing enrollment and financial concerns. In late 2019, the school building was purchased by the Mercy Center for Women, which plans to turn it into apartments for homeless women and children.
