Our Mission
Our Lady of Perpetual Help School provides a quality, faith-based education in a safe environment inspiring children to continue their education and become responsible members of the community.

Our Philosophy
We believe that, no matter what the circumstances, every child has the right to learn. We embrace the axiom that "We are called to teach as Jesus taught." We strive to foster spirtual, intellectual, and Christian values. We believe in reinforcing Catholic tradition through daily religious instruction and through the incorporation of Christian values within the curriculum we teach.

The educational program is an on-going process of working with the student in developing his/her potential as well as a positive self-concept as a child of God. Thus, the student prepares himself/herself to assume a role as a contributing, Christian member of society.

The ideal of educating the whole child permeates every school activity. The teachers and staff within the educational process create an atmosphere of positive awareness in the areas of spiritual, ethical, intellectual, emotional, cultural, social, and development in meeting the needs of each student.

Our Goals
To integrate Catholic faith into the students' daily lives.

To help each student attain academic excellence by providing a wide variety of learning activities, by maintaining high expectations, and by celebrating individual differences and achievements.
To create an environment that is safe, orderly, and conducive to the learning process.

To build a community of students, teachers, priests, and parents to work together to form a Christian learning environment.

To help each student develop principles of moral consciousness and good citizenship.

History
Our Lady of Perpetual Help School was founded in 1946 and administered by the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word until 1972. From 1972 to 1995, OLPH was administered by The School Sisters of Notre Dame. Due to family petitions in 1995, the Diocese of Dallas agreed to keep the school open and a lay principal began as administrator. Today the school continues with its commitment to Catholic education, and is dedicated to both the spiritual and academic growth of all of its students.
