Our Lady Queen of Peace has a proud tradition of excellence and has long enjoyed a reputation of being a leader among Diocesan schools in academics, extracurricular activities and athletics.

Many graduates go on to distinction in a variety of endeavors at area high schools.

A second generation of students is carrying on the school's fine tradition.

The parents of many of these current students are QP graduates themselves.

The fact that many alumni parents are returning to the parish and sending their children to QP is further testimony to the quality of education and sense of strong Christian values which have served as the foundation of the school's outstanding reputation.

Our Lady Queen of Peace School exists to provide pre-kindergarten through eighth grade parishioners an opportunity to grow in faith through a total educational experience which emphasizes academic excellence, personal responsibility and service within a Catholic faith community.
