'FALL RIVER — For the past 13 years, the Seton Academy for Girls has held strong as the only school in Fall River where parents can find an all-girls education for their young daughters. That legacy is going to change.

School leaders informed parents Friday that Seton Academy will admit boys for the 2012-2013 academic year.
...
“We loved that it was an all-girl school; however, realistically we had to decide if it was more important to stick to our original concept, or more important to give all students a full education,” Sturchio said.
...
Sturchio said the school surveyed families about its plans before making a final decision. Some families were not in favor of the change said they would support it if declining enrollment jeopardized the future of the school. Only one parent surveyed plans to pull a student from Seton as a result of the decision, Sturchio said.'
