Last year when an F-5 tornado thoroughly destroyed neighborhoods in a nearby community, Our Lady of the Valley students and parents adopted a family who had lost everything. Because of the spirit of Christian service and self-giving which pervades Our Lady of the Valley School community, this family was able to start again with household furniture, clothing for their children, and other basic necessities. This year each classroom has adopted a family from the Catholic Center of Concern and will work to meet the needs of that family. As role models of their faith and service, parents volunteer in all aspects of campus life, from coaching competitive athletic and scholar teams to attending daily worship services with the students. Ultimate determination of school policy rests with the pastor and the school's Advisory Council, which is also responsible for setting and overseeing the balanced budget.
Income is derived from student tuition and parish subsidy.
In the school's short fifteen-year history, it has benefited from the vision of its pastors and principals. Their relentless drive to constantly strive for excellence has moved Our Lady of the Valley School to the threshold of a new millennium, posed to equip its students with the academic tools and Christian values to live and work as responsible, future leaders in our society.
