Private Catholic schools in the Tri-State area, for the most part, have seen a slight drop in enrollment this school year, school representatives said.
But at least one school in the region says it has seen an increase in enrollment, and most others say the future looks bright for next year s classes. We re experiencing enrollment that is lower due to COVID, but we re seeing a huge interest for next year, said Interim President Tom Burnford of St. Maria Goretti Catholic High School in Hagerstown. Applications are up for next year. There s a lot of interest in Catholic education.

In the coming weeks, a For Sale sign will go up on The Record Herald office at 30 Walnut St. in Waynesboro.
However, we re not going anywhere.
The Record Herald will continue to report on this community and serve the Waynesboro area with great advertising services in print and online.
The space we are in simply does not fit who we are now. In fact, because of COVID-19, we have not used that space much at all since March, with most staff working from home.
Many perhaps most newspapers in America have sold their real estate over the past 20 years. Once we needed sprawling facilities with room for a printing press, advertising, finance and other departments, as well as the newsroom. Today, most newspapers have consolidated everything from printing (The Record Herald is now printed in Harrisburg) to payroll and the need for local office space just isn t as great as it once was.
