In 1890, Roman Catholic bishop, Patrick Feehan, established a new parish church in the South Lawndale area of Chicago.

Primarily settled by Polish Catholics, the church was named in honor of St. Casimir, the patron saint of Poland.

The following year, St. Ludmilla Parish was established adjacent to Saint Casimir, in order to serve an influx of Czech Catholics moving into the area.

The name of the new school was made in honor of the appearance of Our Lady of Guadalupe on the slopes of the Hill of Tepeyac in Mexico City.

[4][5] Our Lady of Tepeyac High School provides educational opportunities exclusively for female students in the Chicago area.

Once home to Eastern European immigrants, Little Village is now considered one of the largest Mexican American communities in the country.

Our Lady of Tepeyac offers different clubs, including cooking, art, film critique, computer building, history, creative writing, environmental, board game, and dance.
