Finding the right school for your family is a journey well worth the investment. We want to make this process as clear as possible with these simple steps

We would love to show you our school at an Open House. After hearing from our Principal, Mrs. Underwood, one of our Student Ambassadors will take you on a tour of our campus, share stories and introduce you to teachers and faculty. We want to answer your questions and help you discover whether OLPH is the right community for your family.
OLPH School seeks to foster a learning environment where the teachings of Jesus Christ, as passed down through the Catholic Church, are taught and lived daily. Formal and informal prayer permeate the school day, with a religion program stressing basic formation in the faith, sacramental preparation and participation, opportunities for worship as a school community, and the call to service shared by all Catholic Christians. This school is part of the total community of faith of the parish and considers growth in faith central to its existence.
Students spend approximately 9,000 hours in school between Kindergarten and 8th Grade! That’s a lot of time and your journey to find the right environment is important. What type of worldview will be presented? Consider whom and what ideas and values will be shaping and influencing your child?
