Our School
Faith • Service • Belonging
At Blessed Sacrament Catholic School we foster a community of caring between students, parents, and teachers. Our school is a safe space for kids to be kids where they can develop confidence, increase their empathy towards others, and be challenged to reach their full potential. We offer a classical education, helping students develop the fundamental skills they will use for a lifetime of learning and success. Here, all students learn to share with each other and treat all of creation with God’s love and care. When a student walks through our big blue doors every day they know this is a place where they will feel safe and supported, ready to learn and grow.
History
Blessed Sacrament School opened its doors in 1986. With the direction and dedication of two Dominican sisters, Sr. Barbara Stanek, O.P., and Sr. Sharon Carroll, O.P., along with Monsignor Robert Servatius, and the Blessed Sacrament Parish Community. Blessed Sacrament School began teaching Kindergarten and 1st grade classes in the parish hall. The following year, Pre-K and 2nd grade classes were added. In September 1988, our four classroom education center and a main office were dedicated, completing building Phase I. In 1990, Phase II was completed and we moved our Pre-K and Kindergarten classrooms into the main school house. In 1991, Phase III completed our ten classroom school. By adding one new grade each year, we filled our Blessed school and celebrated our first 8th grade graduating class in 1994.
The final building phase, Phase IV, began in 1995. This phase included a gymnasium, kitchen, library and media center, and a center for our Little Blessings Extended Day Program. Phase IV was dedicated in April of 1996. As an addition to our library, the Learning Resource Center was completed in January of 1999. Finally, in 2009, the monumental accomplishment of completing our Center for Science and the Arts was realized by the generosity of the ALSAM and the E.L. Wiegand Foundations.
We continue to build upon the great legacy of Sisters Barbara Stanek, O.P., and Sharon Carroll, O.P. and Monsignor Servatius who established our wonderful school over thirty years ago, we are honored to continue the legacy of such a strong foundation entrusted to us and we continue building a firm foundation for the future. While Catholic Education as witnessed in previous generations has continued to change, one thing has been consistent; we are a community of mercy and love.
