Mission
Catholic Schools are an integral tool of evangelization. We prepare each child spiritually, scholastically and socially to excel at the next level. The students in all grades interact in a nurturing learning environment. We achieve this through a high level of parent, teacher and parish community involvement.
Philosophy
Catholic education is a shared responsibility, in which parents have the primary role. St. Mary fosters a cooperative and collaborative approach that capitalizes on the talents and competencies of each member, recognizing the worth and uniqueness of every individual as a person created in the image and likeness of God.
Our mission is to educate and empower administrators, teachers and students to become self-directed, continuous learners and ethical, responsible citizens prepared to meet the increasing challenges of a global society.St. Mary School was founded in 1866 and is fully accredited by the Wisconsin Religious and Independent Schools Association (WRISA).
