"Our Catholic schools are amazing places where students encounter the Lord and share the incredible journey of faith with each other. With the support of parents, guidance of awesome teachers, and the use of the latest technology and curriculum, students are challenged every day to reach their full potential. Striving for excellence in the classroom supports their call to service of others as missionary disciples who encourage everyone to know who they are to focus on the place in God's plan."

"BG instilled in me the values and work ethic needed to accomplish my goals in college. The dedicated teachers pushed me to be the best student I could possibly be, both academically and morally, while believing in me every step of the way. BG was a very beneficial experience and greatly helped to prepare me for college."

"OLVCS is a place where everyone belongs and feels included. Regardless of your interests... there is something for everyone to get involved in at OLVCS. I really like the smaller class size. I never feel like I'm lost in the crowd. Teachers at OLV are helpful and encouraging so students should always feel comfortable asking questions or for extra help when needed. Best part of OLVCS is that God part of my everyday education. I am grateful that I am able to go to a school that gives me an opportunity to go to church and learn more about my faith."
