Frequently Asked Questions
Seton Catholic Schools is a new, collaborative network of K-8 parish schools in Greater Milwaukee. We are coming together to strengthen academics, faith formation and lifelong outcomes for all students. As a collaborative network of schools, we are committed to learning from each other while embracing local school traditions and building upon the foundation of excellence in Catholic education. By 2020, Seton will include 24 schools serving over 8,000 students and be a national model for urban school renewal.
Traditionally, Catholic schools were supported by a single parish—a model with significant limitations in today’s global society. We believe that operating as a school network allows our leaders to focus on high-caliber academic and faith formation programs, while sharing such support services as finance, human resources, and technology. This means school leaders are spending more of their limited time and resources in the classroom. This is especially important for the underserved communities our parish schools serve.
The Board is composed of the Archbishop of Milwaukee, the Superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, two pastors and academic, business and community leaders. Click here for a listing of our Board of Directors.
There are currently 11 schools in the Seton network. By 2020, Seton will include 24 schools serving over 8,000 students across Milwaukee County. Click Here to view an interactive map of our schools.
We have a unique opportunity to truly make a difference in our communities, especially those that are struggling. By strengthening Catholic schools, we increase our ability to create robust avenues for addressing social issues within the community: strengthening families; reducing violence, crime, and poverty; building community; combatting racism; and reducing destructive behaviors.
