OLBR's Student Life

The lives of students at Our Lady of Black Rock are enriched by the education they receive and the opportunities to join in on many activities and events. We are very blessed here to have a dedicated faculty who willingly offer to moderate the wide range of activities during and after school.

A typical day at Our Lady of Black Rock begins at 7:50 AM. Students may arrive any time after 7:30 AM and gather in the cafeteria. Breakfast is served from 7:30 AM - 8:00 AM. The school day ends promptly at 2:30 PM with prayer and announcements.

Every student takes art, music, physical education, health, library skills and technology. Students in grades 6 - 8 take Spanish. We also offer reading and math support for students who qualify through Title 1 Federal funds.

At our Lady of Black Rock, we offer students an opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities. We also have a very rich fine arts program that allows our children to explore their artistic side that ranges from art, to singing, choir, band, and instrumental instruction.
