Our Mission

Through the intercession of St. Lawrence, we support our families in their mission as the first educators of the Catholic faith. St. Lawrence Catholic School is committed to develop in our students a love for Christ and all that is true, good, and beautiful in accordance with the Catholic faith. Our mission is to educate our students in the Catholic Tradition to be productive, responsible, and authentic witnesses of Jesus Christ in the world as they work to attain sanctification of souls and the glory of God.

About Our School

St. Lawrence is a Catholic elementary school that has been in continuous operation since 1901 and has been located in the present building since 1999. St. Lawrence School is comprised of approximately 130 students; preschool through sixth grade. The climate at St. Lawrence School is a warm, inviting family atmosphere with a close knit staff, involved parents, and strong school tradition and spirit. St. Lawrence School has an experienced teaching staff committed to our mission. We strive for low student/teacher ratios. We offer physical education, vocal & instrumental music, and computer teachers. If you came to our school, you would see a very caring and spiritual staff who knows each child as an individual. We have small class sizes that average about 13 students which are great for meeting each student’s unique needs. Each Pre K through 6th grade classroom has an interactive Promethean Board for teachers and students to use in the learning process. Parents are actively involved in school activities and with our School Family Organization (L.I.F.E.). We are fully accredited by the state of South Dakota.
