Every year we come together to celebrate Catholic education. This year National Catholic Schools Week will be taking place Jan. 29 - Feb. 5, 2012 and the theme is "Faith. Academics. Service." This is a special time to honor the educators, parents and students who blend faith and academic excellence together to provide an education you can have faith in. Later this month, our Catholic school radio ads will be airing and we'll have billboards throughout southeastern Wisconsin featuring our week long celebration.
Radio commercials featuring Archdiocese of Milwaukee Catholic school students, teachers, principals and staff will be airing Jan. 25 - Feb. 1, 2012. The 60-second spots will be heard throughout Milwaukee, Kenosha, Sheboygan, Fond du Lac and Beaver Dam.
Each commercial highlights one of our 119 Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Thank you to the schools for sharing your stories!

Catholic Memorial High School (CMH) has received national certification for the Project Lead The Way program that it has been offering for the last three years. Project Lead The Way (PLTW), a non-profit organization and the nation’s leading provider of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education, offers a rigorous curriculum that allows students to apply what they are learning in math and science class to real-life engineering and technology projects. A National Business Roundtable report states that to remain competitive in the global marketplace, America needs to graduate 400,000 science, engineering, mathematics and technical four-year degrees annually, yet we are currently graduating only 265,000. PLTW is providing students with a foundation and proven path to college and career success in these areas and to fill the high-tech, high-skill jobs of the 21 century. Click here to read more . . .
