How we
began...
The Kaukauna Catholic School
System (KCSS) was officially born on March 31, 1993. At a joint meeting
of the Parish Councils of Holy Cross, St. Aloysius, and St. Mary
Parishes.
Five subcommittees were formed to meet over the summer of 1993 to each
be responsible for one of the following tasks:
- Develop a school philosophy and mission statement
- Write the constitution and by-laws
- Deal with transportation issues
- Start an athletics program
- Start Public Relations
Once the
Philosophy/Mission Statement and Constitution/By-Laws were approved by
the Diocese of Green Bay, the Kaukauna Catholic School System was
officially recognized as a legal body and moral person.
The system began as a three
school system. St. Aloysius Campus and Holy Cross Campus both held
preschool through grade 5 while St. Mary Campus was a middle school for
grades 6-8.
Changes over time...
The Kaukauna Catholic School
System proudly completed its 10th year of operation in June 2004.
However, this year also saw the consolidation of the schools into two
new schools. The St. Aloysius Campus changed to preschool through grade
2 and Holy Cross Campus would house grades 3-8. The St. Mary site would
be used for child care, development and the business offices of KCSS.
This meant that St. Francis of Hollandtown would merge with the KCSS
system at all grade levels.
Prior to the 2006 school year, another change moved the childcare
program from St. Mary's to the St. Aloysius Campus.
Current System...
Today, St. Aloysius
Campus is the site for preschool through grade 2, childcare, the
business office and the marketing office. Students in grades 3-8 attend
Holy Cross Campus.
Our mission today is as
strong as when we began over ten years ago. The Kaukauna Catholic
School System educates and challenges each student in our Catholic
faith and strives for academic excellence. We pray that this system of
Catholic education enjoys as rich a heritage in the future as it
did in the past.
Carrying on the
Tradition
The KCSS Endowment
Campaign kicked off March 2010. Click here to find out

The ministry of Catholic
education in Kaukauna is inspired by the
desire to insure the continuation of our Catholic heritage and to carry
out the command of Jesus to proclaim the Good News.
