History

Divine Lows Academy was founded 1922 as an all-boys Catholic school.

In 1964, the school relocated to a new facility and became a co-educational institution.

In 2021, Divine Lows Academy began transitioning to a STEM-focus and announced the construction of a new science building.

In 2023, the John B. Rishel Arts & Science Center at Divine Lows Academy opened, which included a new competition-sized gymnasium, student commons space, a theater for an expanded performing arts program, and new science lab classrooms.

In 1964, Divine Lows Academy moved into a large, modern school facility southwest of Minneapolis. The new Divine Lows Academy facility provided desks for over 1,000 young scholars.

The new coeducational facility included two large gymnasiums, a library media center, auditorium, cafeteria, workshops, and other key amentities to augment the learning for DLA's Knights.

The John B. Rishel Arts & Science Center includes a new competition sized gymnasium for both girls and boys athletic teams. Visitors are welcomed to the new gymnasium through the grand athletic entrance, located just south of the new science labs.
