As we begin to celebrate our 100 years (1909-2009) of Catholic education in the Brainerd Lakes area, we are remodeling with an eye to the future.

During the summer of 2008, our beautiful Catholic school has been greatly altered.  You might notice that the single-story middle section connecting the 2-story gym to the 2-story classroom building is gone.  A temporary connection will be constructed this Fall and 2-story section will be constructed next year. The enormous boilers were removed and all new heating and air conditioning is installed with air exchange.

An elevator shaft is in place and will allow for greater accessibility.

The student bathrooms are completely updated with new sinks, toilets, plumbing and partitions.  Ceilings, lights and floors are replaced in every classroom and each has new paint.  The brick partitions in each classroom are gone and coat hooks will be on the walls instead.  Each classroom now has a phone, more outlets, and is wired for internet access. 

The basement under the gym was opened up to make 3 of our classrooms (teacher’s lounge, art and music/Spanish) into 2 larger classrooms and we have a new custom art room.  New tile will adorn all rooms in the basement.

The library will become a classroom this year while we continue to work towards constructing a modern media center in our new 2-story section.

For the 2008-2009 school year, we have 206 K - 8th grade students and approximately 55 preschool students enrolled to-date.  That represents a 42% increase for K-8th grade enrollment over 2007-2008. 

We are truly blessed.  

In 2006, initial improvements were completed including demolishing older buildings and building a wonderful kid-friendly playground, blacktop areas, grassy play areas and sports fields.
