Our Lady Academy (Bay St. Louis, Mississippi)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Our Lady Academy (OLA) is a private, Roman Catholic, all-girls high school in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. It is located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Biloxi. It is the only all-female Catholic school in Mississippi. [1]
[edit] Background
Our Lady Academy was established in 1971 by the Sisters of Mercy at the same location as a previous all-girls high school, St. Joseph Academy, which operated from 1855 to 1967. St. Joseph Academy closed after it was severely damaged by Hurricane Betsy in 1965. There was talk of reopening St. Joseph Academy until Hurricane Camille hit in 1969.
Our Lady Academy was severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Classes resumed two months after the storm, sharing resources with nearby all-boys Saint Stanislaus College. [1]
