History

St. Louis was erected around 1852 on the west side of chapel street, and was the first parochial school in Louisville. Some of the first teachers of the school were Peter Boviter, Joseph Demulin, and Hannah Moffit, and they have guided the footsteps of some of the great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers of present-day parishioners. The Sisters of the Humility of Mary came from France to America in 1864 to teach the children of French immigrants in Louisville. The teachers at St. Louis School are fully certified by the State of Ohio Department of Education as well as having certification in Religious Education if they are teaching Religion. The combined faculty has many years of teaching experience and these dedicated teachers ensure that the school has an atmosphere of professional excellence permeated with love, patience and mutual respect. St. Louis Elementary school is a diocesan Roman Catholic school operated by the St. Louis Parish Community. As educators, working in partnership with the parish of St. Louis, the parents of our students and other professionals, we endeavor to prepare students to be followers of Jesus Christ and responsible productive citizens.
