An Introduction
The Board's Values represent their core priorities in Lloydminster Catholic Schools' culture, including what drives trustee priorities and how they truly act in the pursuit of excellence for our organization. The Board's Values are increasingly important in the development of the strategic planning process documented in the Annual Report. The Board has committed to permeating these Values into our operations in the service of our students and the mandate of Catholic Education.
Mission
Lloydminster Catholic School Division will nurture the spiritual, intellectual, social and physical development of each student in a faith-centered community.
Our Story
Lloydminster Catholic School Division has continued to grow and expand educational services since its inception in 1959. The division is situated on the Saskatchewan-Alberta border with schools in both provinces. The school division is located on Treaty 6 territory. LCSD has grown since its inception to provide a range of academic programming within a Catholic Education mandate. Enrolment growth has enabled us to add new schools to meet the demand in the community for Catholic Education. In September 2021, construction commenced on the expansion of Holy Rosary High School. The expansion, which opened on February 1, 2023, allowed the accommodation of an additional 400 students.
A commitment to faith and a tradition of academic excellence
LCSD is a vibrant community of teachers, students, and parents. As we evolve, our Board of Education continues to assess and reaffirm its purpose and mandate. We are proud of the academic achievement of our students from Prekindergarten to Grade 12. We are grateful for the active involvement of the Catholic Church through St. Anthony's Parish, and with our Faith Integration Team. This supports students, parents, and staff in faith development. We encourage the seeds of their faith to develop and grown throughout their lives.
