I am a current parent. My child has been at this school for 3 years. I can never say enough about how hard this staff works for treating the whole child, from their basic needs to their educational needs. OLQM is really a best kept secret in terms of the students that they produce. I am always proud to tell people where my child goes to school because I want others to really know just how outstanding the school is. Like most schools as a parent you MUST be invlolved if you really want your child to succeed. Your child's teacher should know who you are without asking everytime they see you and at OLQM, I feel very much at home. Thank you Mrs. Mossop, Father Hoyer, and now Father Jorge.
