The First School

The "little" school, before the building of the present elementary school. For many years the basement section of the old hall
served as the school.

The First High School Class

In the Fall of 1949, the first class of high school students was enrolled.  Twenty-one ninth-grade students, with Mr. Richard Elfrink as their teacher, attended classes in one room of the parish rectory while the interior of the new school building was being completed.  Later in the year classes were held in the new building.

The First Graduates

Students who had entered the Leopold High School as freshmen through 1949-1951 school years later graduated from other high schools.  Eight members of the 1951-1952 freshmen class became the first graduates of Leopold High School on April 28, 1955.
