Since the first graduating class in 1930, Blessed Sacrament Catholic School has grown to now enroll more than 375 preschool through 8th grade students. Although the school has grown, Blessed Sacrament Catholic School has stayed true to its values of faith, academics, and service. The legacy started by the Sisters of Loretto in 1922 continues today as students are prepared to act as faith-filled, responsible, self-respecting, and well-educated citizens.

1910's

1912 – with no parish of their own, the 45 Catholic families in the Park Hill neighborhood were being served by a parish outside the area. At the direction of the Bishop, Fr. Frederick McDonough purchased six lots on the corner of Montview Boulevard and Elm Street. Two adjoining lots were donated, and Blessed Sacrament Parish was formed.

1913 – The original building was built to serve as chapel, rectory and parish hall.

1920's

1922 – Blessed Sacrament Parish announced the partial conversion of the parish building to accommodate students. Known today as “the old school” or the “elementary building”, the original building houses the K-3rd grade classrooms and the library.

The Sisters of Loretto accepted charge of the school, and in the fall of 1922, 57 pupils were enrolled and a vital educational institution was born.

1950's

1951 – A second building was constructed in 1951 to address the growing needs of the area, as well as serve as a high school facility for the Park Hill area until a larger high school building could be built 8 years later. Dubbed Bishop Machebeuf High School, the building included a gymnasium, cafeteria, kitchen, classrooms and offices. Today, that building houses Harvey Gymnasium, 4th and 5th grades, the art classroom, computer lab, Literacy Specialist’s center, an administration office, as well as the kitchen and cafeteria.
