St. Angela Merici Parish was established in 1962. The church, with four classrooms, was dedicated in June, 1964. The Ursuline Sisters of Owensboro, Kentucky, established St. Angela Merici School in September, 1965, with an enrollment of 163 students in grades 1 – 4 and a faculty of four. The school was enlarged in 1966 when the main school building with eight additional classrooms was opened. In 1980, two more classrooms and the gymnasium were dedicated. In 1987, two classrooms, the library, music room and school office were dedicated. In 1997, kindergarten classrooms were added to the main complex.

We offer Grades Pre-K thru 8. Our staff consists of 17 teachers, art music, computer and physical education teachers, a part-time Learning Consultant, and a school librarian.

Our curriculum includes religion, mathematics, science, language arts, social studies, Spanish, computer technology, music, art and physical education. All students have two computer classes in our fully equipped computer lab. There are additional computers in all classrooms. All classrooms are wired for the Internet, cable programming and local area network for school transmissions.

Our library is “state of the art.” It is fully computerized with over 10,000 books and resource materials. It also has computers for research and a laser disc player with many educational programs.

In addition to the educational aspects of our school, we also have many extracurricular activities. We have an active Student Council, a national Junior Honor Society, a Bellarmine Speech Team, a student cantor group, a Christmas and Spring program, and student altar servers. There is also a Scouting program and the St. Angela Merici Athletic Program.

We have a prepared lunch program with the food prepared at Trinity High School and transported to our school daily. The cost is reasonable and participation is optional.

St. Angela Merici School enjoys a wealth of volunteers. Not only parents, but also grandparents and other parishioners who volunteer their time in many ways to benefit our school. Having these adults participate in our school enriches our students greatly.

We are proud of the fine tradition of education developed at our school. We feel confident our students are prepared spiritually, educationally, and socially to meet the future they will eventually encounter.
