Students at St. Lawrence School are being greeted by a new principal this year. Mr. Rob Detzel comes to St. Lawrence by way of St. Cecilia School in northern Kentucky.

The schools in Lawrenceburg return at least a week ahead of most other area schools this year. The trade-off is that Lawrenceburg students will receive a two-week fall break September 30 through October 11.
