Our Lady of Lourdes School, an educational ministry of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish within the Diocese of San Bernardino, shares in the mission of the Roman Catholic Church to spread the Gospel message and live the tradition of prayer, study, and service in a Christ-centered environment. Serving children from across the Inland Empire in Junior Kindergarten through eighth grade, the inclusive, faith-based curriculum inspires life-long learning, motivation to achieve, acceptance of socialand moral responsibilities, and exceptional leadership. Graduates confidently take their place in society knowing that they are prepared to analytically work through any challenge with compassion and fairness because of their excellent academic and spiritual foundation.

The request was circulated to all the Presentation Sisters in the province. In keeping with the charism of their foundress, Nano Nagle, and her expressed wish to be of service in any part of the world, sisters who were interested discerned and volunteered. Four sisters were selected for the task, and the school, though the building was not quite completed, opened on September 14, 1959, with an enrollment of 270 students in grades one through six. More sisters continued to come to the school and by 1963 there were seven sisters serving grades one through eight, all classes at maximum capacity.

Over the years sisters were transferred to different ministries, making way for a qualified and dedicated faculty of lay people who continue to give generously of themselves in spreading the Catholic faith to the students and to their immediate and extended families.

The Presentation Sisters have since retired from the school. Sr. Fidelma Lyne retired in 2010 after 50 years as the principal. Our Lady of Lourdes School continually strives for excellence, and its instructional program has strong Catholic orientation. Dedicated professional administration and faculty, interested parents, and eager students have been the key factors in the successful history of Our Lady of Lourdes School.

Today, the completely lay staff proudly carries on the charism in the school of prayer, study, and service in the tradition of Nano Nagle and the Presentation Congregation.
