About

St. Lawrence School first and second-grade students in 1938.

St. Lawrence School, established in 1869 and operated by Franciscan nuns, has been a cornerstone of the Lawrenceburg community for more than 150 years. In the early part of the 20th century, Father William Kreis took the initiative to build St. Lawrence a modern school. After nine years of fundraising, planning, and construction, the school and convent for the Franciscan nun who would teach the students opened in the fall of 1927. Over the years, the school has had several additions, most recently in 2003 with the completion of four classrooms and the Father Jack Hartzer multi-purpose room.

St. Lawrence Catholic School is a preschool through 8th-grade elementary school with a current enrollment of more than 200 students. St. Lawrence was awarded the U.S. Department of Education's National Blue Ribbon Award in 2006 and was nominated again in 2012. St. Lawrence is accredited by the state of Indiana. 

Our staff is dedicated to Catholic education which is the basis of everything we do. The goal is to help each student find their unique strengths, build on those strengths and obtain academic and personal success while exploring and nurturing their relationship with God.
