Background
Our Lady of Lourdes Regional School was established as St. Edward High School in 1892 located in Shamokin, Pennsylvania, making it the oldest high school in the Diocese of Harrisburg.The school was renamed Shamokin Central Catholic High School in 1955 when it became an inter-parochial high school, serving 9 parishes in the area. The school moved to its present location in 1959 and was renamed Our Lady of Lourdes. In 1964, Mount Carmel Catholic merged with Lourdes. The name was then change to Our Lady of Lourdes Regional High School. With this consolidation, there was an addition of classrooms to the Lourdes building, and a cafeteria was built.
During the 2006–2007 school year, Our Lady of Lourdes Regional High School incorporated the Shamokin diocesan elementary school Our Lady Queen of Peace. The following year, the neighboring city of Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania's diocesan elementary school Holy Spirit became a part of the Lourdes' building. These consolidations changed OLOL from a four-year high school into a K-12 school. The school was subsequently renamed as Our Lady of Lourdes Regional School.
When football returned, the mascot was changed to Red Raiders from Speedboys. This was changed with a vote by the student body of Shamokin Central Catholic High School
