VILLA PARK – After nearly 90 years in Villa Park, St. Alexander Catholic School closed the doors on its final school year in May.

Low enrollment numbers for the 2015-16 school year forced the school to close, despite an outpouring of support from families, who organized a rally and created a Facebook group.

These photos are a collection of images received by Suburban Life from school families and the Villa Park Historical Society.
