Why Catholic Education?


                                      

Picking a school is always a tough decision.  Families of over 33,000 school children have made the decision to pursue Catholic education in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.

A Catholic education is an investment for the future.  

The Statistics about Catholic High Schools


95 % of Catholic high school graduates pursue higher education.  At Saint Thomas More, that number is 97%. 
Students at Catholic high schools in Wisconsin average an ACT score of 23.3 compared to the national average of 21.2.  
53 % of Catholic high school teachers have advanced degrees, including many teachers at STM.  
31 % of the high school principals at Catholic high schools in Milwaukee have doctorates, including STM’s Principal Dr. Mark Joerres. 



Catholic education cares for a child’s mind, body, spirit, and soul.  Catholic schools allow students, including non-Catholics, to explore their faith.  Students feel Christ’s loves all around them, from teachers to coaches to their fellow students.  Catholic schools can help children look at values and morality in ways that other schools cannot.
