The Archdiocese of Philadelphia announces that all elementary schools and high schools within the city of Philadelphia will close early on Wednesday, June 8, 2011 due to the extreme heat. The Philadelphia Archdiocesan schools, including eight high schools and 62 elementary schools, will close at 1:30 p.m. Transportation will be provided at that time for students who normally take buses.

This does not impact Archdiocesan schools in the suburban counties.
