"Volunteering at OLGC School and Church is always humbling. It shows me how Christ lives among us in the hard work of the teachers, priests, and staff at OLGC. They put forth so much effort and time for our children's academic and spiritual development. These people give all they have for our families. The little bit of volunteer work that I do is merely a fraction of their commitment." - Parent of alumni and 4th grader

"...You are absolutely amazing,...I can’t imagine sending my girls anywhere else for their education. I wanted a place with not only academic excellence, an awesome specials program, but an unmatched sense of community.  I’m so happy to be able to have it all at OLGC." - Parents of a Kindergartner & 5th grader

"OLGC offers my children challenging academics and excellent faith formation. The community is welcoming and every family is given the opportunity to make the most of their time through volunteering at the school and the church. The chance to broaden friendships and faith extends way past coffee and social events to making our children's education a family endeavor. The school has so many opportunities for both students and parents to get involved and give of their time, talent and treasure, that there is a place for everyone. A great place for a child to grow into his or her teen years. The middle school is exceptional!" - Parents of 8th grader, 6th grader, 4th grader, & 2nd grader

“Over the past two years I have watched my children thrive in OLGC’s Christ-centered care. The school environment reinforces their dignity, supports their individuality and motivates them to enjoy improving their abilities.” - Parents of 5th and 8th graders

“…we were looking for the total package – a high quality educational experience rooted in the Catholic values and traditions that together provide the foundation for a rich, faith-filled life. We see the benefits of our choice every day as we watch our daughter develop the self-confidence and life skills that come from both a challenging academic environment and a nurturing school community.” - Parents of 8th, 5th and K graders

“...loving sense of community shared by parents and teachers... There are numerous volunteer opportunities... reinforces our Catholic values... rigorous academic focus... administration is visible... and welcomes open lines of communication.” - Parents of Kindergartener and 3rd grader

“Among our many blessings, we have the most wonderful, intelligent, athletic, personable, and happy child we could dream of. As much as we would like to take full credit for how he has developed, we cannot, as we owe too much credit to the school and church staffs, their tender leadership and the nurturing environment they have created. The teachers, the administration, and the Parish Ministry have our full and unwavering trust.” - Parents of 3rd grader

“…they can live Jesus in all that they do academically and socially. Our religion is a part of our lives, and we feel it is important that they know Jesus is with them at all times. In a Catholic school, we can speak and share our faith – it is the way we live and how we treat other people. We can follow the words of St. Francis de Sales – 'Live Jesus Live so live in me that all I do be done with Thee… and grant that all I think and say may be your thoughts and words today' – in all that we do.” - Parents of 5th, 7th and 9th graders

"...One of the best features of OLGC is its amazing middle school. I can't think of a better place to enter the teen years. The middle school teachers work together to foster continuity, faith and camaraderie among the students. Overall, we are so grateful to the school for all it has done for our children and family." - Parent of 8th, 6th, 4th & 2nd graders

"My son recently shadowed at a local Catholic high school. The Honors English teacher shared with the Director of Admissions that she was so impressed by his participation in her class that day she felt he was one of her regular students and had been there all semester. I am so proud of my 8th grader and so proud of OLGC School, especially his English and Literature teachers for preparing him to have the confidence and to be comfortable enough to get up in front of a freshman Honors English class. Thank you all!" - Parent of an 8th grader

“…this is the time when children learn the difference between right and wrong. Discipline is an important part of achieving success and Catholic Schools teach the importance of this value. Living our Catholic values on a daily basis creates a healthy and nourishing learning environment. Our children have a challenging learning environment yet they are supported by caring staff that bring out the best in each one.” - Parents of 6th and 8th graders

“…of its reputation for giving children an excellent foundation in the 3 Rs, and the faith-based atmosphere in which classes are conducted. We hoped by making the choice for Catholic school, our children would be surrounded by a community with a similar value system to our own. Joining the school community made us feel more a part of the parish. We felt more connected and got very involved. Our daughter has enjoyed middle school thus far, and is looking forward to the milestones that await her (the 8th grade play and the 8th grade/faculty volleyball match being two highlights most often mentioned)!” - Parents of 6th grader and college students

“…we believe in the value of a Catholic education. A Catholic education provides more than the academic knowledge attained in the classroom; it encourages a faith-based life and fosters a sense of community and the understanding of the importance of service to others. Adolescence is a period of accelerated development in a variety of areas and kids are encountering new situations, responsibilities and people during this period. It is at this time especially that in addition to quality academic instruction, they also need the discipline of a Catholic school environment and the reinforcement of Catholic values and principles.” - Parents of 3rd, 5th, 8th, and 10th graders

“…we wanted our child to experience a faith filled learning environment. We were comfortable that our values were being reinforced, which is not always the case in today's world. We also believe that our child has received a top notch academic education.” - Parents of an Alumni

From a coach/parent regarding a special moment at House League Championship Game as it demonstrates how proud I continue to be part of this great community!

“Just a quick note to ask for you to pass on my thanks to the students who were part of the cheering section Monday night.  While I'm sure they each had their favorite player or team in the championship game, they all came together to create a special atmosphere for one player in particular. This young man started this basketball season having never played House League before, but he kept working hard and every practice and would attempt to shoot foul shots and layups, getting stronger each week.  Unfortunately, he never made a basket in any game all season.  However, on Monday night he saw the culmination of his hard work. 

At one point in the game he got hit in the nose by another player's head and had to come out.  The student section began chanting "MVP...MVP" to cheer him on and it was awesome.  At the end of the 4th quarter he got his opportunity to make a basket and each time he shot, the crowd got louder and louder in anticipation.  On his 4th attempt, the ball went in and the gym ERUPTED with cheers from parents, students and everyone there.  We called a time out and both teams rushed to him to give him a high five.  Again, the student section chanted "MVP...MVP".  Even though his team lost, at the end of the game the entire student section rushed the court and surrounded this young man to congratulate him.  It was the most amazing and special moment I have ever been a part of in the 40+ years of my sports career.  Please extend my thanks to the student body for their support of this young man and of everyone in the game on Monday night.  The students were the true MVPs.  I know that he and his family and I will never forget what they did.  It was the perfect example of our kids exemplifying the Salesian virtues and makes me proud to be a member of the OLGC community.”
