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

students. Grant Initiatives for Today’s Students

(GIFTS) awards grants in the amounts of $10,000

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.

The GIFTS grant program is making a difference in

our Catholic schools. GIFTS grants fund meaningful

projects that advance school programming, increase

school capacity and enhance student learning.

Please consider making a donation to support the

GIFTS grant program today. Your gift for Catholic

education is needed at this especially critical time

and will ensure continued funding of important

programs at Catholic schools in the Archdiocese

of Milwaukee.

GIVING TO MAKE OUR SCHOOLS EXTRAORDINARY

Page 10: SSTRONGERTRONGER THAN EVER...through religious art. A mural featuring Our Lady of Guadalupe is underway, with plans for classroom art featuring each class’s chosen patron saint

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.”

MAINTAINING A SENSE OF CONNECTION

FLOURISHING COMMUNITY

MOVING BLESSINGTo emphasize solidarity among all students, past and present, Milwaukee’s

Pius XI Catholic High School students joined campus ministry faculty

in traveling throughout greater Milwaukee, blessing homes of Pius families

and alumni.

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.
