History of our School

1870 - 1949  |  1951 - Present

1951 The school was dedicated in May, with five rooms built of the eight proposed. The school now housed 235 students, taught by 6 sisters.
1952 The Six sisters taught single grades first through fifth with sixth/seventh and seventh/eighth combined. 
1953 An addition was built to includ more classrooms, living space for the Sisters and a chapel where Mass was said on weekdays for the children, since the parish church was down the road.
1956 The school supported 528 children, 10 Sisters, a kindergarten and the first lay teacher, Ellen Kramer, grade three.
1960 The school had 725 children, taught by 11 sisters and 5 lay teachers.
1961 The dedication of the new church was held in April. The larger church was necessary and the needs of the school were still present. So, the new church was built with four classrooms and a meeting room constructed in the undercroft.
1987 An addition, including seven classrooms, a library, and Principal/Secretary’s office was added in August to the campus.
1990 The new project, consisting of 4 classrooms and Memorial Hall, was completed.
1998 The school had 670 children. The faculty included two Sisters, one Sister principal and one Sister assistant principal and 37 lay teachers.
