THE HISTORY OF CARENCRO CATHOLIC SCHOOL
Carencro Catholic School is a result of the dreams of a Canadian priest, Father A.B. Laforet and Saint Katharine Drexel. Father Laforet brought the Sisters of the Order of Mount Carmel to Carencro in 1897 to open St. Ann’s Convent school. In 1925, Saint Katharine Drexel opened Our Lady of The Assumption School for Black and Native American children of the area. Father A.M Wassler built St. Pierre School in 1963, which later merged with Our Lady of the Assumption School in 1971 to form Carencro Catholic School.
Today the school is home to over five hundred pre-kindergarten through eighth grade students. As the Body of Christ is present in the chapel at the center of campus, so is Christ at the center of study at Carencro Catholic School. Within a loving, family atmosphere, students encounter a unique religious curriculum following the teachings reflected in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. This knowledge of their faith gives Carencro Catholic students a unique perspective on their studies including reading, math, science and history. Carencro Catholic School is an official feeder school for Teurlings Catholic High School in Lafayette,
Louisiana.
