Principal’s Message

Bishop Ludden-Grimes, formerly known as Bishop Ludden, was founded in 1963 as a Catholic college preparatory high school for young men and women in the Western Region of the Syracuse Diocese. Chartered by the New York State Board of Regents, the school is a member of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.

Our curriculum is designed to assist all students, individually. Our goal is to develop the gifts and talents of each student in order to guide them toward realizing their goodness and achieving their highest potential. By stressing the doctrine of Christ’s teachings it is desired that BLG’s efforts will be the basis for continued growth into adult life, to witness the teachings of Christ. Special emphasis is placed on the teaching of written communication skills, on developing strong study skills and on involving students in creative learning activities to meet the moral, physical, spiritual, intellectual and emotional needs of each student.

Welcome to Bishop Ludden ~ Grimes

What a wonderful time for our school and faith community. We begin the 2025-2026 school year with great anticipation of what is to come. With the combination of both Bishop Ludden and Bishop Grimes schools we become one school united in the traditions of faith, family and friendship. The strong bonds that have been established by both communities in the past have generated much enthusiasm for what lies ahead. Our vision is to take the best of Ludden and the best of Grimes and create a school that will become the staple of a faith-based college preparatory school in our area. By keeping God at the forefront of everything we do at Bishop Ludden-Grimes, we will educate our children to navigate this ever changing world and to trust in Him and His plan. Jesus is our guide and shepherd. He will protect us. “If God is for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31

Here at Bishop Ludden-Grimes we are committed to providing a Catholic education that nurtures the whole child – spiritually, intellectually, and socially.
Please know that safety is our Number #1 concern at all times when working with your child. We have implemented various strategies and schedules to help maintain a secure and nurturing learning environment. Our dedicated staff is committed at all times to ensuring the safety and well-being of every student.
We value open communication and encourage you to reach out with any questions or concerns. Your partnership is vital in creating a safe and supportive school community. I will be sending regular updates home to families via FACTS – if you are not receiving these updates please contact our Main Office and we will look into it.
If you have any questions or concerns at any time, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly at sshoults@syrdiocese.org or call our Main Office at 315-468-2591.

Onward and Upward!

“I haven’t second guessed my decision to join the Ludden-Grimes family for even one second. I’m so grateful to be part of a family who cares not only about my student’s grades but about my student’s well being, too.”
