History & local legend
Our Lady of the Sacred Heart High School shares a hilltop complex near Coraopolis with the Felician Sisters' convent. In the three-story red-brick building, school and convent occupy separate wings with the chapel between them.
A student tradition concerns a nun seen on the third floor after school activities. She walks with her head lowered and her hands together in prayer, but appears to have no facial features. Freshmen were said to hear the story during their first two weeks.
In an April 2008 recollection, a former pupil reported seeing the figure repeatedly.
