There is one absolute in life ... change. We watch the gold of autumn turn to barrenness, the pink of spring to rich green. Change is everywhere, and it has come in a most significant way to OLA this year. In May of 1985, Mother Mary Landeline, president of Our Lady of the Angels Academy, together with the Advisory Board announced the academy’s decision to move to coeducation. With the change of direction comes a change of name: Longview Catholic High School. In 1932 the Felician Sisters who own and staff the school came to Enfield and acquired the 32 acre Mifflin property on Enfield Street, known as Longview Estate. From their beginning the Felicians were dedicated to the education of children. Their immediate goal was to establish a secondary school for young women. 4 Opened on September 6, 1944, with 11 students and 7 faculty members, Our Lady of the Angels Academy soon gave evidence of its academic accomplishment by the accreditations it received and the success of its alumnae in colleges and careers.

Our Lady Of The Angels Academy 1944-1986 land Association of Schools and Colleges was granted in 1963. As the number of Felician Sisters in the Enfield prov¬ ince increased, it became evident that larger facilities were necessary. A new provincial house was construct¬ ed on the north side of the old convent. When it was completed in 1957, the former convent was renovated to serve as the academy. On September 2, 1986, Longview Catholic High School will begin its academic year. At Class Night juniors tell graduating seniors that the “chain” of tradi¬ tions and values which represents OLA will not be broken. That promise will be kept. Longview Catholic High School is the next link in the history of OLA.
