History:
Bourgade Catholic opened its doors in 1962 to students who were taught by the Marist Priests and Brothers, the Sisters of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, sisters from the Congregation of the Humility of Mary, and several lay educators. In 1972, the Holy Cross Community of Priests from the University of Notre Dame assumed the administration of the school. From 1988 to 2011, the principal of Bourgade Catholic was a member of the community of the School Sisters of Notre Dame. The school is currently under the leadership of Ms. Kathryn M. Rother who believes that Catholic Schools are the lifeblood of the Church. "Our students are the single most important variable in the continuation and growth of a vibrant and living Church."
