[edit] History
The current school building was built in 1960. Before then, the school was known as Lima Catholic Central and was housed in two of the elementary schools St. Rose and St. Gerard as two different high schools. In 1959, with the collaboration of St. Rose, St. Gerard, St. John's and St. Charles elementary schools, Bishop George J. Rehring began construction of the current school building.
In 1960, the school opened its doors in the new building with Fr. Herr (pronounced her) as its first principal. In 1962, two wings were added to the building. Fr. Herr, who received the title of Monsignor in 1963, held the position of principal until the 1980's and was succeeded by Daniel Rupert until 1997. In 1998, Fr. Dennis Hardigan became the pastor/president of LCC. Under his guidance, a new Science and Technology Center was built in 2002 and a new Athletic and Convocation Center in 2003. In 2004, Fr. Todd Dominique was named pastor/president. In 2006, Mr. Richard Mitterholzer was named the new principal with Fr. Thomas Gorman as the new chaplain, from Delphos St. John's.
[edit] Mission
The school prides itself in its Catholic identity. Its mission statement, which is memorized by all students goes as follows: Lima Central Catholic will work with God's grace, the Church, and our families to form our students into thinkers, doers and saints in order to become tomorrow's servant leaders. LCC's mascot is the Thunderbird and colors are red and turquoise and their rival is the Delphos St. Johns Blue Jays.
