OLPH School History and Photos
The Sisters of Charity at Seton Hill, Greensburg, Pennsylvania sent three Sisters to open Our Lady of Perpetual Help School in 1956. With a humble beginning of 87 students, the campus and enrollment grew along with Scottsdale itself. Within ten years, OLPH grew to over 900 students and 18 teachers. When the Diocese required schools to limit class size, the enrollment was gradually cut back, to the approximately 575 students we now have.
Take a look through our historical OLPH photos and see what's changed and what's remained the same. We've got 50 years of history, so there are a lot of pictures!

Monsignor Maguire
Monsignor Eugene Maguire, passed away on February 17th, 2006, after having served as Pastor of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church from 1952 to 1993, when he retired. Under his guidance, OLPH grew from the Old Adobe Mission to a new church building in 1956 (now called Maquire Hall) and still later to the building of the current OLPH Church in 1976.
