supporting our lady of grace catholic school
Since Our Lady of Grace School reopened its doors in 2000, we have seen incredible growth in our school. We have grown from a small school of 86 students to a thriving school that educates students from 1 year old to 8th grade.
At the beginning, we were only able to accept a small number of families who could not pay full tuition. Today, through Grace Gala and the donations from our donors, we are able to offer a Catholic education to over 82 families who could not otherwise afford our school. As a church, called to share our faith, we hope to continue to make our school affordable for all.
Our Lady of Grace School offers an outstanding education for our students. We continue to excel, which is evident in our ILEARN scores and our "A" rating from the Indiana Department of Education. Our graduates are flourishing in area high schools, and tell us that they were extremely well prepared to succeed in public and Catholic high school. They continue to maintain close ties to our school and parish community, and have an incredibly close circle of friends that they developed at Our Lady of Grace Catholic School.
We recognize that there are many requests for your charitable dollar. We want you to know that participation at any level makes a difference!
