Living in the area, we are fortunate to have many options to consider: from public, to charters, to private faith and non-faith based schools. And, although my husband is an alumni of OLPH, I did not want that to influence my decision. However, I simply could not deny how comfortable I immediately felt and how impressed I was with the tour. It started with the kindness that I received as I walked into the office to start my tour. Another parent overheard that I was touring and welcomed me and told me about how happy she was with the school and the faith community. My tour guide Maria was so patient and knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. And let me tell you I threw a lot at her as I'd done my homework! One thing that struck me was that no matter where we went on campus, there were connections. It became clear how much teachers and staff truly love what they do. Multiple teachers have 20+ year legacies, while others are former alumni, and still others started as homeroom moms and are now on the administrative staff! What makes them stay? Their dedication to educating children and providing a faith-based environment, their devotion to their teaching ministry, and the amazing staff they work with every day to shape our children into kind, responsible young people. It isn't just the teachers who have this legacy, but it's also the parents. In fact, there are some families who have sent three generations to the school! Like my husband, many former graduates send their children to OLPH. This is what makes the community unique and special. Then, there is the academics. With small class sizes and highly qualified teachers, your child will be set up for success. Besides the core subjects, every class from K-8 learns Spanish. Additionally, the school has a Science Technology Engineering Art and Math (STEAM) room where creativity blooms. Lastly, as a faith-based school, religion is interwoven into the curriculum. The day begins with morning prayer and students volunteer to do readings over the loud speaker for all to hear. With weekly Mass and Sacrament preparation included in the day, children become full members of the church by the end of the third grade. Not Catholic? No problem! Although religion is a required part of the curriculum, receiving the Sacraments is a personal choice and many families choose our school with different religious or non-religious beliefs. We have a great sports program, wonderful pre- and post-school care, after school homework help, and so many fun enrichment programs to extend the day. We even have a Transitional Kindergarten program! We are a tremendous feeder into parochial high schools, with most of our 8th graders feeding into Brophy, Xavier, Notre Dame and others. Go take a tour today. I promise you won't be disappointed!

Teaching…read moretwo-year-olds takes an incredible amount of patience, compassion, and dedication, and Ashley brings all of that and more into her classroom every day. She has been such a positive influence on our son and has played a huge role in helping him grow more confident and independent. One of the biggest milestones she has helped him with is potty training, and her encouragement and consistency have made such a difference. She knows how to teach responsibility and independence while still making children feel cared for, supported, and safe. What stands out most about Ashley is the heart she puts behind everything she teaches. She doesn't just tell the children what to do--she helps them understand, encourages them to try, and celebrates their progress. She has a wonderful way of holding children accountable while still making them feel loved and capable. We have seen our son grow so much under her care, and we truly believe Ashley has helped give him the confidence to take on new challenges. Knowing that he is spending his days with someone who genuinely cares about him means so much to us as parents. We are incredibly thankful for Ashley and the positive impact she has had on our son's life. She is the kind of teacher families remember long after their children leave her classroom, and we feel very lucky that our son has had her as part of his early childhood experience.
