The Our Lady of Guadalupe Spanish Immersion Program was implemented as a specialized elementary program in the Holy Family Catholic School System, beginning in the fall of 2002, with the first class of kindergarten. The program has expanded each year with the addition of another class of kindergarten. By 2004, the program's popularity required implementation of a wait list for admission.

High demand led the program to be expanded to two kindergarten sections in the 2006-07 school year. To ensure that their children were admitted, some parents lined up early on the first day registrations for 2006-07 were accepted.

In 2007, the program was again expanded, this time through the addition of two preschool programs, which will open during the 2007-08 school year. One preschool program will be a five-day bilingual class for pre-kindergarten students, with instruction in both English and Spanish. The second program will be a three-day immersion class, with instruction principally in Spanish, for four- and five-year-old children.

Middle school initiatives currently are being developed to continue the Spanish language development through the higher grade levels.
