Academics
At RCS the bar is set high. Inspiring our students with challenging expectations and providing the tools necessary to achieve them we foster a culture of academic excellence and personal success.
About
Lourdes High School serves students in grades 9-12. Located in the northwest quadrant of Rochester, Minnesota, the school is part of Rochester Catholic Schools (RCS), a unified Catholic school system that has been serving our community since 1877.
Activities/Athletics
Lourdes High School offers more than an academic experience in the classroom! At LHS, we provide our students with a vast array of optional activities so that while students' new passions may be explored and discovered, existing passions may be simultaneously refined and improved. By participating in extracurricular activities such as ministry, athletics, or the arts, students develop skills such as leadership, teamwork, responsibility, and self-discipline.
Faith
There are many ways for students to grow in relationship with one another and Jesus Christ at Lourdes High School: service and outreach opportunities, class retreats, mission trips, liturgical celebrations, prayer services, spiritual gatherings, and more.
