The Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary visited Scranton, Pensylvania in the year 1878 and started St. Cecila’s Academy “for young ladies”. And later in 1902 Mount St. Marys Seminary was opened which was equivalent to high school. Later due to natural calamities the school buildings and other infrastructures were damaged beyond the extent to be repaired and thus it was combined with Scranton Preparatory School which was a boy’s school.
