VISION
Catholic schools transform our local and global communities into centers of faith, hope and charity by educating students to be disciples of Jesus Christ.
MISSION
Schools in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee are committed to educational excellence, student diversity and a Catholic culture that fosters faith, service and personal responsibility, all in the name of Jesus.

We need Catholic education more today than ever before. Our schools give
students the knowledge and skills to view global issues through the lens of the
Gospel and Catholic social teachings. As we form young men and women to be
disciples of Christ, we reinforce the virtues that create productive members of
society.
This year, we were challenged to build character and academic capabilities in the
midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. I am grateful for the powerful response across
our archdiocese — from school administrators, teachers and staff, as well as
families and community supporters.
As the nation’s 12th largest system of archdiocesan Catholic schools, we have
the opportunity and the responsibility to shape the future of our Church and our
communities. We build God’s kingdom in our midst. Join me in celebrating and
promoting the continuing success of Catholic schools.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
The Most Reverend Jerome E. ListeckiArchbishop of Milwaukee
The 2019-2020 school year was more than just its
final four months, but because of the COVID-19
pandemic, those are the months that many people
will remember. In more than 50 years as an
educator, I’ve never seen a challenge like this —
but, at the same time, I’ve never seen such
resilience, innovation and commitment.
Teachers and school leaders found new ways
to help students grow in mind, body and spirit.
Families wove daily instruction and formation even
more tightly into home life. And, donors enabled us
to continue to excel.
Because of this firm foundation, with Jesus Christ
as our rock, we are stronger than ever. I invite you
to learn more about what our students, staff and
families have accomplished — and, to join us
in our vital mission as we build on 177 years
of proven success.
With gratitude for all who carry the mission forward,
Kathleen A. Cepelka, Ph.D.
Superintendent of Catholic Schools

STRONGERTHAN EVERThrough this challenging year, Catholic education in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee has not only survived, but thrived. Even when we were physically distanced, our schools continued to develop the whole child, deliver a robust academic curriculum, cultivate community and help those in need.
Generous donors help drive these successes. This report includes results from the new Grant Initiatives for Today’s Students (GIFTS) program, which distributed $205,000 to 28 schools. Your support for such programs, through prayer and participation, is key to sustaining the good work of Catholic schools.

Every school in the archdiocese aspires to
excellence in all aspects of school life. When the
COVID-19 crisis required switching to learning
from home, schools quickly deployed a full range
of virtual tools to continue guiding students from
pre-kindergarten through high school to meet
academic, spiritual and developmental milestones.
Classes, faculty office hours and conferences with
parents moved online. Teachers set up cameras
in their homes and backyards to encourage students
in wellness activities, music and art. Daily prayers
and videos, formation meetings for high school
students, and virtual Mass and Zoom rosaries kept
Christ at the center.
Education also continued for teachers, who met
regularly online to pray and support each other.
We offered online professional development for
teachers as well as guidance for 15 first-year
principals. In collaboration with the Saint Clare
Center at Cardinal Stitch University, we continued
our religious education certification program,
“Sustaining the Mission,” for more than 2,000
teachers, principals and staff members.
Whether learning in the classroom or the living room,
our students continue to experience the highest
quality instruction, attention, encouragement and
opportunities for growth.
REASSURING CONTINUITYJust three days after schools closed due to COVID-19, Waukesha Catholic
Schools, comprised of St. William Campus for grades K3-2 and St. Mary
Campus for grades 3-8, opened virtual classrooms, working to create a sense
of familiarity. Students began each day online with morning announcements,
the Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer led by one of the school administrators.
Parish priests read stories and joined with faculty to make videos to reassure
students. Events, such as the annual retreat for fifth graders, moved online, as
educators continued to affirm each student, guiding them toward learning and
virtuous living.

Prince Of Peace School, Milwaukee, received $5,000 to promote Catholic identity through religious art. A mural featuring Our Lady of Guadalupe is underway, with plans for classroom art featuring each class’s chosen patron saint.
St. Eugene, Fox Point, used $5,000 to stock mobile carts with a 3D printer, robotics, virtual reality goggles and other supplies to develop science, technology, engineering, art and math skills. The cart brings older and younger students together in using the engineering model of project-based learning so they can learn to persevere in solving open-ended problems.
St. Kilian, Hartford, received $5,000 in seed money for a new playground. The community raised an additional $17,000 to cover design, installation and other updates to the playground area, which will serve the school and the community.

The National Standards and Benchmarks
for Effective Catholic Schools give us a framework
for excellence and accountability. Thanks to our
focus on academic excellence, our schools already
had established core content and skills standards
for each grade level before distance learning
became a necessity.
Creative, committed staff found new ways
to communicate, engage and teach. They distributed
learning packets, held live Zoom classes and opened
online tutoring labs. For parents, they offered
resources such as private Facebook groups to share
homeschooling ideas, technology coordinators
to assist with computer or internet issues,
and email check-ins to assess the effectiveness
of online learning.
Every teacher closely monitored class attendance
and participation so that every student could benefit
from the rigorous Catholic school academics that
prepare students for higher education and for life.
EMPHASIZING EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE
ROBUST ACADEMICS
KEEPING STUDENTS LEARNINGEach Sunday evening during learn-from-home, students and parents from
St. Francis Borgia School in Cedarburg received an itemized schedule outlining
the week’s virtual calls, homework due dates and assignment expectations.
Classes were held in a virtual classroom with live instruction. Students studied
individually and in groups, maintaining academic progress. And virtual field trips
and social calls for all grades offered enjoyable interaction to keep students
laughing and learning together.

John Paul II Academy, Racine, received $5,000 to support personalized learning. The school purchased guided reading books that teachers could offer students who needed encouragement to like reading. An investment in MobyMax, an online skills practice resource, further helped the school boost reading scores 8% for 8th grade and 15% for 4th grade, while math scores rose 2% for 8th grade and 8% for 4th grade.
St. Thomas Aquinas Academy, Milwaukee, used a $5,000 grant to start a Lego Robotics Club for K5 - 8th graders and a Lego Robotics elective for middle school students. The school purchased Lego Mindstorm EV3 robots and sponsored a coding class for students and teachers. A separate 3D printer purchase supports another middle school elective — giving students new ways to express themselves and advance their skills.

In the 2019-2020 school year, we completed the
first cycle of a new grants program to help Catholic
schools continue to go above and beyond for our

and $5,000 to schools each year, many which are
featured throughout this report.
Schools can apply for grants in four focus areas:
• • Catholic identityCatholic identity, for initiatives such as faculty faith formation, liturgical resources and environmental enhancements.
• • Educational innovationEducational innovation, for creative instruction through new programs and supplemental resources to advance existing programs.
• • Development and marketingDevelopment and marketing, for software enhancements, website upgrades, brand
development and other initiatives to support fundraising and recruiting.
• • Project initiationProject initiation, providing seed money for long-term projects, such as a new K3 program, new staff positions and playground equipment.

GIVING TO MAKE OUR SCHOOLS EXTRAORDINARY

When we chose “We teach you like family” as our
Archdiocese of Milwaukee Catholic Schools theme
for the 2019-2020 school year, we had no idea
how fitting it would become. Given the realities
of pandemic learning, our theme could easily be
restated as “We teach you with family!”
The connections our schools regularly seek with
families and parishioners became the backbone
of home-based learning. Schools used a host
of virtual tools to maintain a sense of closeness
despite physical distancing. Book clubs, video skits,
dress-up days and online lunchtime hangouts let
students enjoy each other’s company. Daily prayers,
web-based Scripture hunts and May Crowning
celebrations integrated faith with culture.
Wherever and however we gather, communion and
community shape our schools from pre-kindergarten
through high school. This is how faith grows. This
is how our schools become microcosms of the
Kingdom of God, where others are moved to say,
“See how they love one another.”

Catholic Central High School, Burlington, upgraded technology and school security with a $10,000 grant. Better Wi-Fi enables students to share documents and collaborate on projects. They can also access online learning tools, including classes in American Sign Language, Advanced Placement U.S. History and Advanced Placement European History..
Northwest Catholic School, Milwaukee, used a $5,000 grant to create culturally relevant literacy circles. Students in grades 4th-8th received up to three books based on interest and reading level. They joined in book club discussions on peoples’ similarities and differences, bridging cultural gaps in a diverse student body. The school also saw improvement in students’ comprehension and critical thinking skills.
Holy Angels School, West Bend, received $5,000 to make the school’s website more user-friendly and interactive. Parents can now find the information they need quickly and take advantage of paperless registration and online access to schedules and the school handbook.

As we brought the heart of Catholic education into
the home, we also practiced Catholic ideals to help
families through unprecedented times. Many school
families faced — and continue to face — unimaginable
situations; our schools have responded with:
• Pastoral care, emotional support and
counseling for families, as well as students.
• Fundraising to provide financial assistance
for families in need.
• Meals for those facing hunger.
• Chromebooks to students for access
to education and community.
Students also participated in outreach projects, such
as holding food drives, collecting hygiene products
for shelters and making cards for nursing home
residents and essential workers. Even in a remote
learning environment, children learned they have
the power and the responsibility to make a
difference in the world. And, as a true family, through
the toughest of times and the most daunting
challenges, they learned that they became stronger
than ever – together.
SERVING FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES
POWERFUL IMPACT
SUPPORT BEYOND THE CLASSROOMMost students at Messmer Catholic Schools participate in the Parental
Choice program and live in the Milwaukee neighborhoods hardest hit by
COVID-19. School staff quickly focused resources on helping families who
were affected physically, emotionally and financially. Meals were made available
or delivered. Counseling staff reached out to families. Technology experts
helped parents navigate internet issues. Also, the school distributed several
hundred Chromebooks to students needing electronic devices, boosting online
attendance and engagement from 75 to 90 percent.

Divine Mercy Catholic School, South Milwaukee, used $5,000 for a “U.N.I.T.Y.” program to enhance Catholic identity. The program includes community service projects for each grade level and a dedicated space in the school where all ages can gather to pray, discuss and grow in faith. School leaders say the program has changed the school’s focus from looking inward to reaching out to others.
St. Agnes School, Butler, used $10,000 for a Catholic identity program, “Facilitating Encounters with the Living Jesus Christ for Students, Families, Faculty and Parish.” As a Choice school, St. Agnes has many non-Catholic students, and the school recognized an opportunity to evangelize all. By including the wider parish in these activities, St. Agnes promotes appreciation and respect for the increasingly diversified school community.
