School History

In September of 1890, under the direction of a lay teacher, Father E. J. Lavaquery, opened a school, which we now know as Our Lady of the Lake School.  Enrollment that year was ten boys and eight girls.  The Benedictine Fathers assumed care of the church in 1912, and in 1916 the Benedictine Sisters from St. Scholastica convent in Covington came to Mandeville to help build the school into what it is today.  From a starting enrollment of eighteen students, Our Lady of the Lake has grown to over 775 students.
