Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School

Please welcome Diane Nolan, our new Aftercare Director, to the Crusader family! 👋

Diane grew up in Floyds K***s and graduated from Floyd Central High School with the Class of 1983. She is the proud mother of two children and grandmother of three wonderful grandsons. ♥️

In her spare time, Diane enjoys spending time outdoors with her two rescue dogs, Tucker and Auggie. She spent the past 30 years working in pediatric dentistry, a career that allowed her to serve and support countless children and families in our community. 🦷

Diane is excited to begin this new chapter and become part of the Our Lady family. We are thrilled to have her join our team and look forward to the care, experience, and joy she will bring to our students and families. 😊

Welcome to Our Lady, Diane! 💙

Let’s give a warm welcome to Will Loy, our new Music Teacher for the 2026-2027 school year! 👋

Will’s love of music started at a very young age when he turned a Folgers coffee can into his very first drum. Since then, music has been a big part of his life. He participated in band, theater, jazz band, pep band, and marching band throughout his school years and continued playing music in college and beyond. 🎶

Will is already a familiar face around Our Lady as the father of Claire and Josephine. He is excited to share his passion for music with our students and help them discover the joy that music can bring. 😊

Outside of music, Will enjoys golf, gardening, and spending time with his family. ⛳️

We’re excited for our students to learn from Will and experience his enthusiasm for music. Welcome to the Our Lady teaching team, Will! ♥️

As enrollment continues to increase, we are blessed to expand our early childhood program and add another teacher to serve our youngest learners. We are so excited to welcome Olivia Pierce as our second Preschool Teacher! 👋

Many of you may already know Olivia from her time serving as an assistant in our PreK classrooms. A proud graduate and lifelong parishioner of Our Lady, Olivia has been an active member of our parish community for many years. ⛪️

Outside of the classroom, Olivia is a soon-to-be graduate student at IUS and enjoys reading, writing fiction, acting, playing video games, taking walks with her puppy, and spending time with her wonderful husband. 🐶

Olivia shares, “I am so beyond excited to begin a wonderful new journey at Our Lady.” ♥️

We are thrilled to have Olivia step into this new role and look forward to the love, enthusiasm, and dedication she will bring to our youngest learners. Please join us in congratulating and welcoming her to the preschool team! 🎉

On Sunday, Madie and Marie T. celebrated their First Holy Communion at the 11:00 Mass. While they were unable to receive the sacrament with their classmates due to a family emergency, they were surrounded by love and support from several classmates, along with their teachers, Mrs. Castleberry and Mrs. Miller, who came to celebrate this special day with them.

This is what the Our Lady family is all about—supporting one another, celebrating together, and walking alongside each other in faith.

Congratulations, Madie and Marie! May God continue to bless you as you grow in your relationship with Jesus. 💙🙏

Alright, Crusaders! Help us welcome our new STEM/Technology Teacher, Ms. Kaylee Harris! 👋

Ms. Harris began her teaching career in elementary music before earning her Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Science Education. She has spent the past two years teaching 7th grade science and is currently completing her Master’s Degree in Educational Counseling at IUS. 📖

When she’s not teaching, Kaylee enjoys spending time with family and friends and is a huge music fan. One of her favorite things to do is attend concerts! 🎶

Ms. Harris shares, “I am so incredibly excited and blessed to be starting at OLPH this year! STEM is an integral part of our world today, and I cannot wait to share it with my students. This opportunity will bring me a lot of personal growth and development, and I look forward to learning new things alongside the kids in my classroom!” ♥️

We are excited to have Ms. Harris join our Crusader family and can’t wait to see the creativity, innovation, and excitement she brings to our STEM program. Welcome to Our Lady! 🎉

This summer, we're excited to share some fun stories highlighting the people, families, and traditions that make Our Lady such a special place!

First up: the Combs family, a true Crusader legacy family.

Rich graduated from OLPH in 1973 and continues to serve our school community today. Whether he's helping with mowing, maintenance projects, or lending a hand wherever needed, his dedication to Our Lady is a gift to us all.

His daughter, Sammy, graduated from OLPH in 2004 and now serves as one of our wonderful PreK teachers, helping our youngest Crusaders begin their educational journey.

And the tradition continues with Kamden, who just completed his first year in preschool and is on track to graduate with the Class of 2036! 😀

Three generations. More than 50 years of Our Lady pride. One amazing family.

Stay tuned this summer as we continue to celebrate the people and stories that make Our Lady feel like home! ♥️💙

Fr. Tony was gifted a yearbook signed by all of our students, and today we were finally able to surprise him with it. Overwhelmed is an understatement.

He wanted to thank all of the students, faculty, and staff for the love and support during his time at Our Lady. He shared that he will carry this yearbook — and the memories inside it — with him forever. ❤️
