Office of Catholic Schools

Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Superior have a long history.  The first schools began in missionary times with the first mission at La Pointe on Madeline Island.  Over time there were 52 schools, the most being 32 at one time.  Of the five physical high schools, the last two closed in 1967.  The only Catholic college – Mount Senario – closed in 2002.  Currently there are fourteen Catholic elementary schools.

Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Superior are a mission of the Church entrusted by Jesus Christ to instill Catholic faith and morals in our students.  Within community, our schools prepare students spiritually, academically, and physically to proclaim and live out the Good News in preparation for eternal life.

The schools will bring the Gospel message to the students and families by promoting life-long formation in the faith and stewardship to the school, parish, community and world. The schools will personalize learning to help students to achieve academic excellence and be productive global citizens. The schools will strive to become financially stable and a viable and successful avenue for academic achievement and moral teaching within the sixteen counties.
