Lima Central Catholic High School is one of three high schools in the Lima/Shawnee area. Lima Central Catholic, known as LCC for short, is a private, parochial school and is the smallest with the capacity to hold over six-hundred and fifty students. The current school building was built in 1960. Before then, the school was known as Lima Catholic Central and was housed in two of the elementary schools St. Rose and St. Gerard as two different high schools. In 1959, with the collaberation of St. Rose, St. Gerard, St. John's and St. Charles elementary schools, Bishop George J. Rehring began construction of the current school building. In 1960, the school opened its doors in the new building with Fr. Herr (pronounced her) as its first principal. In 1962, two wings were added to the building. Fr. Herr, who received the title of Monsignor in 1963, held the position of principal until the 1980's and was succeeded by Danial Rupert until 1997. In 1998, Fr. Dennis Hardigan became the pastor/president of LCC. Under his guidence, a new Science and Technology Center was built in 2002 and a new Athletic and Convocation Center in 2003. In 2004, Fr. Tod Dominique was named pastor/president. The school prides itself in its Catholic identity. Its mission statement, which is memorized by all students goes as follows: Lima Central Catholic will work with God's grace, the Church, and our families to form our students into thinkers, doers and saints in order to become tomorrow's servant leaders. LCC's mascot is the Thunderbird and colors are red and turquoise and their rivals are the Lima Senior Spartains. |
