Welcome to St. Louis Catholic School
St. Louis has a long history, over 50 years of educating and molding future leaders in our community. We are very family oriented and brag of many generations of families who have attended, loved and supported our school. Originally led by the service and sacrifice of the Dominican Sisters of St. Catharine, we continue their long tradition of excellence as we continue to be a loving parish school with emphasis on high academic standards, utilization of technology, service to others and strong religious formation.
As you walk through the doors of St. Louis, you will see a traditional parish school with a loving and caring staff willing to go that extra mile to meet the individual needs of their students.
We are committed to making sure that our students receive many opportunities to explore their interests and to utilize technology, better preparing them for a fruitful life in the 21st century. We offer a coeducational experience from preschool through 8th grade. Students enjoy participating in student council, choir, orchestra, clubs, Knowledge Bowl, Scouts, and much more.
We have a strong athletic program which includes football, volleyball, cross country, golf, cheerleading, soccer, basketball, and baseball. Our volunteer coaches provide instruction in the foundations of their sport and most importantly, impart the importance of teamwork and good sportsmanship.
Our teachers take seriously their role in the faith formation of our students as they bring our Catholic faith alive in their religion classes and sacramental preparation. Students attend Mass weekly, joining with the church community to praise, pray and worship.
I invite you to drop by and visit to see for yourself the great things that are happening here at St. Louis Catholic School.
I look forward to meeting you! Peace and Blessings,
–Mrs. Teddi Niedzwiedz, Principal

Spiritual Life
As a Catholic parish school, St. Louis focuses on the spiritual formation of our students, while realizing that the first teachers are our parents. Our Catholic faith is promoted by attendance at weekly Mass and celebration of the sacraments. Each day our school begins the day with reflection and prayer. Students also participate in praying the Angelus at noon.
The traditions of the church are celebrated through participation in Stations of the Cross, all school Masses, Advent services and projects, and retreats for grades six through eight, to name just a few of our activities.
Students are encouraged to model the teachings of Catholicism through community service. Students visit our Eucharistic adoration chapel and the meditation garden for individual reflection.
Sacraments
St. Louis is a parish school which focuses on the spiritual growth of our students.
Our students attend Mass once a week and on First Fridays of every month. Students in the second grade receive sacramental preparation for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. During the season of Lent, students participate in Stations of the Cross every Friday.
Our students also participate in spiritual retreats in the sixth through eighth grades. Our parish priests are regular visitors to the classrooms. Our eighth grade Catholic students receive instruction in preparation for the sacrament of Confirmation throughout the second semester of their eighth grade year. These students receive this sacrament at a special ceremony in the spring.
