School History

St. Lucy St. Lucy Parish School was established in September 1953 with a student body of 122 first, second and third grade students. The school has expanded on ayearly basis until it reached ten grades, including Kindergarten and Pre-Kindergarten. The south wing of the school, housing the sixth, seventh,
and eighth grade classrooms, was added to the original building in 1960. Following completion of the present parish church in 1967, the former church building was converted to an auditorium/gymnasium. An extended daycare program began in 1986, and moved to the first floor of the Julie Billiart Center (convent) in 1992. A new playground structure was erected and a new gym floor was installed during the summer of 2000. The central gathering place for morning assembly was renovated during the summer of 2001. The new science lab opened for classes in January 2002. In the fall of 2007 the library underwent an extensive remodel to become the Library/Media Center. A glass wall now joins a state-of-the-art computer lab containing more than forty 20-inch iMac computers with the remodeled library. In addition, a new door to the extended day care area and additional afternoon staffing allow after school use of this beautiful facility by all students. Most recently, in answer to a growing demand by our young families, the extended day care area (EDC) was remodeled to include a separate Pre-Kindergarten facility, allowing us to welcome our first pre-kindergarten class in the fall of 2012.

The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur have served as administrators, faculty and staff members at St. Lucy School since the school¹s founding. A dedicated group of lay instructors including Sr. Cecilia Wallace, SND have kept the charism of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur alive in the St. Lucy
community. St. Lucy School celebrated 50 years of excellence in education in 2003. Today, St Lucy Parish School continues to develop outstanding programs that remain in alignment with its mission and philosophy.
