OPELOUSAS CATHOLIC: Educating mind, body, and spirit
Opelousas Catholic participates in the Diocesan Safe Environment training and
is in compliance with all dictates from the local Bishop relating to hiring practices and screening of all salaried and volunteer personnel. A primary goal of the
Diocese and administration is to provide a safe environment for all who spend
time at the school each and every day.
All parents are encouraged to attend a Safe Environment Training which is necessary to have contact with OCS students in a school setting.
