Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School installed the Lunch Cashier System to automate the tracking of student lunches.

In the cafeteria, we installed the Lunch Cashier System to automate the tracking of student lunches. Then as the student eats hot lunches at school or purchases milk, they present their ID card (the same ID card that is used in the library, see above) and the funds are automatically deducted from that student’s account.

We also offer many academic, sport, and social gathering opportunities for students, staff, parents, and the community at large to come together and unite as one in support of the school and its mission.

Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School has been accredited by the Wisconsin Religious and Independent School Association (WRISA). For more information on this topic please refer to the Accreditation page located on this site.

Our Lady of Lourdes faculty includes a combination of both full and part time staff, including administrative support people and food service personnel. All are 100% dedicated to teaching the highest academic standards and living the Catholic faith with all students. Our teachers are top notch with most of them having a current Wisconsin teaching certificate in the area they teach and others having a college education majoring in the subject they teach. The teaching staff is expected to have religious certification from the Diocese of Green Bay. Everyone in our school community is very dedicated to Catholic education and Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School.

We would be happy to answer any questions that you may have or to assist you in learning more about our school and what we have to offer. Please call us at 920-336-3091.

Have a great day and may God bless you and yours.
