Our History |
The first time that the school question was discussed by the members of
Saint
|
| Clement Parish was February 24, 1889. All who were present were in favor of |
| establishing a Catholic School. |
|
School opened on September 2, 1889. Two Sisters of St. Francis from St.
Joseph's
|
| Convent, Milwaukee, taught in the school. The enrollment was 33. |
|
The first school room was the chapel in the basement of the church. This was
too |
| small, too dark and unhealthy. Another meeting was called on October 6, 1889 |
| to discuss building a new school house. |
|
The blessing of St. Clement School took place on February 12, 1890 in the
morning before a Solemn High Mass. |
|
In 1934, a high school was opened but due to lack of space, it was
discontinued in
1940. |
|
A new school was built in
1955. |
|
Six more classrooms were
added in 1962.
|
|
Sisters of St. Francis of
Assisi arrived to work in the school in 1978. They joined the
|
| School Sisters of St. Francis. |
|
St. Clement School
currently includes grades kindergarten through six. |
