Welcome to Our Lady of Grace Catholic School!
Dear Prospective Panthers,
We are called to educate children, and we focus on each child individually. From the youngest 3-year-old to our oldest 8th grader, all students are treated with dignity at OLG.
Because it is important to provide a well-rounded education for all students:
- We support students academically with grade-level and advanced classes. And when children need help, we supply assistance in a number of ways, including resource teachers, tutoring, and our special education PACE and Quest programs.
- We challenge students physically with twice-weekly physical education classes and by recommending that each child participate in a school sport.
- We help students grow socially and emotionally, and we promote collaboration, communication, and leadership through lessons, projects, regular scheduled guidance classes, servant leadership, and more.
- Most importantly, we encourage each child spiritually. Faculty and students attend weekly Wednesday morning Mass at the church as a school community along with parishioners. We worship together. We start each school day in prayer. Children participate in traditions including the Living Rosary and the Stations of the Cross. And although we are rooted in the rich traditions of the Catholic faith, we welcome students of other faiths to join our school.
Children at Our Lady of Grace practice their faith by being the hands of God to a world in need. Through their religion classes, they visit area assisted-living facilities and perform community service projects throughout the year. We have been given much, and it is a blessing to be able to give back.
Graduates from Our Lady of Grace continue to grow to be leaders. We are proud to say that OLG graduates at Bishop McGuinness High School in Kernersville have earned academic, athletic, and art awards for their hard work in those areas, and whether students choose to attend Catholic, private, or public high schools, they often comprise the top tier of high-performing achievers.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or would like more information about Our Lady of Grace. I would love to tell you more about what makes our school special!
Fondly,
Catherine Rusch, M.Ed.
Principal, Our Lady of Grace Catholic School
