Welcome to Our Lady of Peace! From the parish beginning in 1962 pastor and parishioners were and are committed to the ideals of Catholic Education ministry. In this school year pastor, principal, parishioners, faculty, parents and students re-commit themselves as the People of Peace. As a school community we are...

P - prayer;

E - example;

A - academic excellence;

C - collaboration, community, commitment;

E - esteem for ourselves and others!

We embrace our new pastoral leader, Father Dennis Schuelkens, who has given his promise of his presence with our young people.

Ongoing emphasis is placed on educating our students in twenty-first century methods and technology. Edu City, E-Writing Roadmap and Tech 3 Literacy integrate curricular skills and needs with technology resources. This year updated program materials and texts include Math, WV History and elementary Spanish. Our students' success is most evident in national standardized assessments and analysis. Academic life is coupled with the fine arts, sports and fun - a Winning Combination!

The National Catholic School theme "Catholic Schools - Dividends for a Lifetime" reflects lessons learned in faith, knowledge, discipline and morals. In my personal steps in Catholic education as student, parent, teacher, principal I value my own life dividends received in my involvement in each of these roles. As principal of Our Lady of Peace for twenty-four years it is now my privilege to be a part of the lives of my pastor, my teachers, staff and school families. Together we are the People of Peace. Visit through these web pages and then in a personal school visit. Our doors are always open to you.

Peace be with you,

C'Ann Reilly, Principal
