The Story
Our Lady of Loretto School is an engaged educational community rich in Catholic tradition. As a Catholic school, we provide our students with a strong academic foundation through a rigorous faith-based curriculum. In collaboration with our school families and parish, the faculty and staff foster the spiritual, academic, physical, and emotional development of each student.
Several pastors and many parishioners saw their dreams reach fruition on September 3, 1958, when Our Lady of Loretto School opened its doors. Heading the staff were the Ursuline Sisters: Mother Mary William, principal, also taught third grade, Mother Florence, was the first grade teacher, and Miss Nita Webb, was the second grade teacher.
Our Lady of Loretto School firmly believes that parents are the primary educators of their children. Through a cooperative, close relationship between parents and school, we nurture our students to love God, others, and oneself. We provide a faith-filled community in which we educate our students, to be honest, respectful, independent, spiritual thinkers who are prepared for the demands of being global citizens.
