Focus on Faith ~ Strong Academics ~ Spirit of Innovation ~ Welcoming Community

The St. Lucy School campus has been a part of the historic Campbell community for over 50 years. The extensive campus features beautiful, dedicated spaces that support every aspect of the school program. Additional resources, such as learning specialists, tutoring with teachers, and outstanding technology resources are available to all students. Our innovative spirit provides our students with a stunning array of resources across the campus.

Library/Media Center
In 2007, the computer lab was moved and combined with the library to create a new Library/Media Center. The computer lab contains 40 Intel Duo Core 2 Apple computers, a state-of-the-art overhead projection system, high-speed laser printers and both digital and video cameras. A full time technology resource teacher and all St. Lucy classroom teachers are certified in computer use. Students in grades K-8 have regularly scheduled computer classes once a week. Time in the lab is structured around the NETS (National Educational Technology Standards for Students), and much of the work is designed in collaboration with requests of individual classroom teachers. Each classroom (including the science lab, library, and art studio classroom) is equipped with a multimedia cart housing a digital document camera/projector that is supported by sound equipment and a DVD player. The campus is fully wireless, and students in the junior high carry flash drives as part of their daily routine.

Learning Resources
Students have access to a wide array of supports to their learning. Because of our low student-teacher ratio and classroom aides, teachers know their students well and are able to recognize their unique learning needs. Student learning can then be supported through additional services and opportunities.

  • Classroom aides support teachers and allow small group instruction in grades K-5.
  • Split math and Spanish classes in junior high allow small class instruction and differentiated instruction to meet the needs of both typical and advanced learners.
  • The reading specialist supports the development of reading skills in grades 1-3, and extra aide time is allotted for reading support in grades 4-5.
  • The unique LitMasters reading comprehension group has been developed to meet the needs of students in grades 6-8 and further prepare them for high school coursework.
  • The trained learning specialist collaborates with students, teachers, and parents in support of students with learning differences in all grades.
  • Students have daily opportunities to work with their teachers before and after school.

Extended Day Care Program
The before- and after-school Extended Day Care program is designed to support the family by providing quality care that promotes the student's physical, social, emotional and cognitive development through nurturing staff members in a planned environment. Qualified, experienced and loving personnel staff the program. Extended Day Care is open from at 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday throughout the school year. This includes minimum days and teacher in-service days. After school hours, students have access to the Library/Media Center in order to complete projects or do research. The Extended Day Care Program has a structured curriculum that emphasizes social and spiritual growth for kindergarten students, who engage in arts, crafts, educational computer work, circle time, cooking, and physical activities. During the break between morning and afternoon kindergarten sessions, those in the Extended Day Care program eat lunch together as a group.

Extensive Campus
St. Lucy School benefits from a large campus situated next to St. Lucy Parish Church. The classroom spaces are large and well lighted, with plenty of space for displaying student work. The hallways reflect the spirit of the school through displays of student work, special projects, and elements of the liturgical calendar and school religious celebrations. A peek into classrooms reveals organized, comfortable spaces, integrated technology, and evidence of a passion for learning by both teachers and their students. We enjoy several dedicated spaces that enrich learning in particular subjects. 

  • The science lab is fully equipped and staffed with dedicated science teachers. 

  • The art studio classroom boasts evidence of student creativity in its beautiful wall murals, and offers plenty of space for artistic expression and exploration using different mediums. 

  • The Library offers online access to its extensive collection. 

  • The gymnasium supports the school athletic program, and its stage, attached multipurpose room and beautiful courtyard gardens, and professionally stocked kitchen support our various programs, events, and activities throughout the year. 

  • The Pavilion covered picnic area is used for lunch and outdoor class time, club meetings, and family socials, and is home to the Entertainment Stage during our annual Fun Fest carnival. 

  • The primary play yard enclosure includes a play structure and grassy play area, and is located immediately adjacent to the primary classrooms and Extended Day Care.

  • Learning break-out rooms allow classroom aides and learning specialists to work with students in small groups.

  • The Library/Media Center is available for supervised student use after school.

  • The Parish Activity Center is used for special student events, parent workshops, receptions, guest speakers, and other special events sponsored by the school.
