In response to the growing needs of Catholics in the Lindenwald area of Hamilton, St. Ann Catholic Church was initially established as a Mission in 1908. In 1909, after being established as a Parish, St. Ann extended its service to the Catholic community by opening a school. On September 20, 1909, St. Ann Catholic School opened its doors. The school had five grades, forty-six students, and a staff of two. When the new combination Church and school building was built in 1911, the Pastor, Father Santen, secured three sisters from St. Francis of Oldenburg to take charge of the school. In 1938, when the new Church was completed, the old combination Church and school became exclusively used for the school. An addition was built in 1953 which added 5 classrooms, and that buiilding is still the home of St. Anns School. we now servicce 140 students in grades K-8. we have a teaching staff of 9 full-time teachers and 3 part-time teachers.
St. Ann Catholic School is committed to the spiritual, intellectual, physical, and social growth of each student. Our school strives for academic excellence in an environment interwoven with the Gospel values of the Catholic faith. Each student is prepared to meet future challenges and to practice Christian service to the Church and the community.
