HISTORY
Blessed Sacrament School first opened its doors in 1935. The school was located at the home of Col. James H. Holt, with a total enrollment of 25 students. This marked the beginning of quality Catholic education in Burlington and the surrounding area – a tradition that has served the community for 86years.
In 1951, the school building at 400 West Davis Street was erected and dedicated by Monsignor Eugene Livelsberger. A total inside renovation was completed in 1984. The school offered a fully air-conditioned facility including the Koury Parish Center, the Knesel & Powell Science Lab ,and the Qurnell Memorial Library.
In 1995, Blessed Sacrament moved to 515 Hillcrest Avenue. The building was formerly occupied by Hillcrest Elementary School of the Burlington City Schools. The building was completely renovated and refurbished. Bishop Joseph Gossman of the Diocese of Raleigh dedicated the building in August 1995.
Today Blessed Sacrament School continues its tradition of excellence in Catholic education.
