Episode 153: of the American Grown Podcast in the Colortech Creative Solutions studios with Deb Waters Head of School at Our Lady of the Cross.

In this episode, we sit down with Deb Waters, Head of School at Our Lady of the Cross in Lebanon County. When Lebanon Catholic closed in 2020, Deb helped lead a community through heartbreak to hope — founding a new school in less than 18 months.

Now with tripled enrollment and plans for expansion, Deb shares how faith, perseverance, and community spirit revived a 160-year tradition of Catholic education. A powerful story of resilience, legacy, growth, and hope in action.
