Your Guide to May Day!

MAY DAY May 1, 2019 Here is your guide for all that you need to know for the upcoming May Day Celebration including the May Day Student Video Contest, Challenges, and Prizes!

Thanks to our generous benefactors, tuition alone covers just over 60% of the LCHS budget. The balance of the cost per student is funded by contributions to our Annual Fund Campaign.

Give Now to start the May Day Celebration!

May Day Student Video Contest Students were challenged to create a 30-90 second video on memories at Lancaster Catholic High School or why they choose to be a LCHS Crusader.
