Cambridge Matignon School

The campus fronts on Matignon Road, Cambridge, extending into the city of Somerville at its rear. It consists of two school buildings: the main school building and a smaller alumni building containing development offices and art classrooms. The campus is adjacent to a church and a rectory. This church used to be the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston's Immaculate Conception Church, but reopened in January 2006 as St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church. The school also resides next to the International School of Boston. ==History==

The Cambridge Matignon School is named after Father Francis Anthony Matignon, who was born in Paris on November 10, 1753, and came to the United States after being ordained a priest. He died in 1818. In 1945, the high school was established by Richard Cardinal Cushing (then Archbishop of Boston). The school's 10 ice hockey state championships are second to Catholic Memorial High School in state history. The program has produced 19 NHL draft picks overall; however, its last tournament win was back in 2004. The Cambridge Matignon School announced it would close at the end of the 2022-2023 academic year because insufficient funding to maintain the school, and financial issues. The school closed on June 30, 2023. ==Athletics==
