Our Lady of Lourdes Regional School, formerly Our Lady of Lourdes Regional High School, is a private, Roman Catholic high school in Edgewood Gardens, [2] Coal Township, Pennsylvania.
It is located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg.
Our Lady of Lourdes Regional School was established as St. Edward High School in 1892, making it the oldest high school in the Diocese. It was located in Shamokin.
The school was renamed Shamokin Central Catholic High School in 1955 when it became an inter-parochial high school, serving 9 parishes in the area. The school moved to its present location in 1959 and was renamed Our Lady of Lourdes (OLOL). [3]
During the 2006–2007 school year, Our Lady of Lourdes Regional High School incorporated the Shamokin diocesan elementary school Our Lady Queen of Peace. The following year, the neighboring city of Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania's diocesan elementary school Holy Spirit became a part of the Lourdes' building. These consolidations changed OLOL from a four-year high school into a regional K-12 school. The school was subsequently renamed as Our Lady of Lourdes Regional School. [4]
Our Lady of Lourdes made the news in 2018 when a teacher of four years was fired for admitting that she was having a child with her boyfriend out of wedlock. Naiad Reich was told that she was fired because she had no immediate plans to marry. Reich said that she and her longtime boyfriend made the decision to start a family and planned the pregnancy. The administrator, Sister Mary Anne Bednar, stated that she was fired for "immorality". [5]
