Dear Parents,

8th grade graduation is tonight at 7pm, and our school year is quickly coming to a close. We continue to closely follow guidelines from the Archdiocese to see what COVID related changes are in store for next school year; I will keep you posted. Here at OLC this year, we prioritized the safety and security of our students to provide them with a high quality, faith-filled education in a stable learning environment. We had our challenges along the way, but overall the year was a success. Thank you for your support.

Students may come out of uniform for all 3-1/2 days next week: $3 donation, payable to their teacher or to the office.

Registration for the 2021-2022 school year is open. Refer a new family and we will waive your tuition for one month next school year (certain conditions apply).

Tuition rates for next school year reflect a 3% increase from this school year. Tuition 2021-22: 1 child = $5783; 2 children = $8935; 3 children = $11,742.
