Welcome to Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School! You are about to step into a school unlike any other; a place where faith and learning aren’t just priorities, they are a way of life. We are thrilled to welcome you and your family as you explore what makes our school special.

At Our Lady of Lourdes, we believe that a great school doesn’t happen by accident – it happens by design. Every decision we make, from our approach to learning to the way we build community, is intentional. When parents ask about our homework policy, the answer will never be, “It depends on the teacher.” Instead, you’ll hear about our balanced approach; homework that reinforces skills without overwhelming students, no assignments on weekends, and an understanding that family time matters.

We don’t believe in busy work. We believe in purposeful learning. That’s why we have a clear IXL policy that supports academic growth without unnecessary frustration. It’s why we believe in two recesses a day—because movement and play fuel the mind. It’s why we challenge our middle schoolers with a rigorous math and science program that prepares them for the future while ensuring that learning is hands-on, meaningful, and engaging.

But beyond academics, what truly sets Our Lady of Lourdes apart is our school culture. Here, your child will be surrounded by teachers who love what they do and who believe in setting high expectations—not just for grades, but for character. Our school is built on Core Values that guide everything we do: Love, Service, Learning, Integrity, and Courage. These values aren’t just words we post on a bulletin board; they are the foundation of how we teach, how we lead, and how our students grow into the people God calls them to be.

Every morning, our students stand together and recite our Mission Statement—not as a routine, but as a reminder of who we are and why we’re here. It is a powerful moment that sets the tone for the day, reinforcing the values that will shape your child’s education.

At Our Lady of Lourdes, you will find:

• ✅ A culture of respect and kindness—visitors often comment on how well-mannered and engaged our students are.
• ✅ Teachers who are exceptional—passionate, dedicated, and committed to helping every child reach their full potential.
• ✅ A thriving arts and athletics program—from our celebrated theater productions to our competitive sports teams, your child will have opportunities to discover their gifts.
• ✅A strong partnership with families—because we believe that parents are the first and most important educators of their children.

Choosing a school isn’t just about academics. It’s about finding a community that will shape your child’s future. A place where faith is lived, learning is exciting, and values are more than words—they are actions.

We are so excited to welcome you to Our Lady of Lourdes. We hope you’ll see what so many families before you have discovered—this is more than a school. This is home.

Warmly,

Elizabeth Agresta
Principal
