School Information

Brief History

Resurrection Catholic School was founded in 1991, as a consolidation of St. Joseph's, St. Anthony’s, and Saint Mary's Schools. These schools have served Catholic families for over 166 years in the city of Lancaster. The decision to consolidate was made by Bishop Nicholas Dattilo of the Diocese of Harrisburg, because of declining enrollment and financial difficulties of the three schools. The building currently being used is St. Anthony’s. St. Joseph’s School was returned to the parish in 1993 and St. Mary's in 2011. The name Resurrection was chosen to represent the rising and beginning of a new school from the consolidation.
