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 and Holy
Cross both held grades preschool-5. St. Mary's was a middle school and
held grades 6 and 7.
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
from a preschool-5 school to a preschool-grade 2 school. The Holy Cross
campus changed from a preschool-5 school to a school housing
grades 3-8. The St. Mary's campus would no longer be a middle school. It
would be used for childcare, 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 has a childcare and preschool program. They also
have kindergarten-grade 2. The students then move to the Holy Cross
campus for grades 3-8. The business office is still at the St. Mary's
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.
