About

At Father Leduc Catholic School we focus on family, faith, and community. We will strive to be part of your extended family.

About our namesake – Father Hippolyte Leduc

Regarded as one of the foremost early advocates for Catholic education in the history of the province of Alberta, Father Leduc’s contribution to Alberta was substantial and inspirational.
Father Hippolyte Leduc, from whom the City of Leduc also derives its name, spent his life in the service of the church and the people of Alberta.
He became a member of the Northwest Territories Board of Education, was a school inspector, and was instrumental in convincing the government that separate school education should be funded. He also worked with the Grey Nuns and assisted in establishing the Misericordia Hospital.

About Father Leduc Catholic School’s grade configuration

Father Leduc currently serves over 560 students and their families through Kindergarten to Grade 8.

Leduc Reconfiguration Process

In the Spring of 2015, STAR Catholic Schools held its Leduc Reconfiguration Spring Consultation. With the addition of Father Leduc Catholic School, STAR Catholic examined various reconfiguration factors and over a three month consultation process sought feedback from parents, staff and stakeholders to arrive at an informed, preferred, attainable and sustainable solution. A preferred community alternative was presented and approved by the Board of Trustees in June 2015.

Welcome to Father Leduc Catholic School, STAR Catholic School Division’s newest K-8 school in the community of Southfork. Since its inaugural year in 2016, Father Leduc Catholic School has developed a faith-based approach toward learning. In September, 2023 we introduced French Immersion to grade 7.

As a Catholic school community, we strive to create a culture rich in academics, athletics, and the arts in a faith-based environment. It is our intent to foster a rich legacy as a welcoming, accepting, and inclusive school community. Together, we have made Father Leduc Catholic School a great place to learn, to grow, and to share God’s many blessings.

Although our school has grown to be large in number, we maintain a family style atmosphere insuring collaboration, well-being, and quality instruction that is root-ed in our philosophy that all students will achieve high levels of success.

God bless,

Darren Schneider
