Roncalli Catholic High School was established in 1965 to serve young people in our community. Our mission is to educate in the Catholic traditions of spiritual growth, life-long service and academic excellence. Presently, our school is spiritually and financially supported by 13 parishes in our region.
The enrollment at Roncalli is presently 272 students, which includes young people from a four-county area ranging approximately 35 miles. Over the past 10 years, almost 95 percent of our graduates pursue education at colleges or technical schools. On average, those graduates earn more than $1.8 million each year to pursue post-secondary education.

Service continues to be a value for our students. This year, Roncalli students voluntarily participated in 58 service projects and totaled more than 5,000 hours of community service. We continue to offer many opportunities to grow in their faith, including: all-school liturgies, classroom and community prayers, reconciliation, retreats and religious education courses.
Quality options for students of various academic levels are offered. Our challenging college preparatory curriculum has enabled students to attend and succeed at many of the nation's most prestigious universities. Advance Placement and Honors courses offering college credit are available. Students who benefit from guided instruction utilize the Academic Resource Center. In addition, our learning needs coordinator works with both students and instructional staff to ensure success in the classroom. Programs are tailored to meet the needs of the individual student.
Roncalli is available to students from all economic backgrounds. We offer a generous financial aid program that benefits almost 60 percent of our students. In addition, free tuition is offered to qualifying families through the Wisconsin School Choice Program. Roncalli also offers transportation to students from many of the outlying areas.

In 2018-2019, we look forward to continuing our academic excellence through the expansion of a STEM program that includes science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Roncalli will also continue to offer each student a personal computer and to expand our infrastructure for technology.
Our 50 employees will continue to help students grow, both academically and spiritually, while being strong leaders and volunteers in the Lakeshore community. We feel blessed by the prayers, support and generosity of our many benefactors, and look forward to continuing to offer a personalized education and creating Christian community.
