My grandchildren have been attending OLPH School since preschool. Two have graduated and two are in middle school. The teachers and staff support each student and listen to parents/guardians and work together. There is a genuine family feel to the environment. Academically, these kids have tremendous opportunity to enrich their learning through STREAM, broadcasting, and platforms that other schools don't offer.

For anyone looking for a superior Catholic education in the IE, I highly recommend OLPH. In addition to being the only Catholic school in the area to offer STEM, they also provide a wonderful family atmosphere allowing all students to excel. I give OLPH 5 stars.
